Moscow has failed to send the ammunition supplies promised last February, endangering the mercenary group Wagner's position to capture Bakhmut.

Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin allegedly said his fighters had an issue with the ammunition supply to push their offensive forward in Bakhmut. Recent reports claim that the Kremlin and the militia chief are not on the same page.

Wagner Fears They Could Not Hold Bakhmut

Unverified sources, including the AFU and analysts, disseminate information that the 155th Brigade of Russia in combat close to Vuhledar south of Bakhmut is in disarray. These forces allegedly had severe losses that they refuse fighting, reported Reuters.

As counterinformation to the claims of Kyiv, the Russian Defense Ministry said, its forces demolished another command post of the AZOV Nazi Regiment located in the southeast of Zaporizhzhia region. The Ministry of Defence keeps information at a minimum, and the outlet did not verify any claims.

Prigozhin, as alleged by the outlet, says his forces cannot hold on to the area if the ammunition supply does not arrive. Wagner was supposed to receive the supply but now faces problems from up top.

Last Saturday, Prigozhin posted in a video on the Wagner Orchestra Telegram channel that the Kremlin wants to prime them to blame for the offensive's failure. The insinuation that the Russian military cannot beat a rag-tag Ukrainian army, noted SCMP.

He stated that Wagners should not retreat, or the gains would be lost.

Before the war, 70,000 lived in Bakhmut year-round, and that location will be a strategic point to hold on to. Still, a winter offensive winter with reserves was called up a year ago for the Russians to hammer the Ukrainians to defeat and control the Donbas industrial sector to cap a victory, citing CNBC.

The Ukrainian commander of the AFU troop, Volodymyr Nazarenko, stated they would not move out. Wagners are a threat to these AFU soldiers already on the deep end, and conditions are unfavorable.

He posted a video showing the conditions he and the troop see daily on Telegram. The Russian advance he calls like hell, continually pushing toward them on the east front. Sources from Kyiv's military last Monday said 95 attacks besieged their position since yesterday.

A Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov stated in a video comment that the local is getting grim and worse. In February last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin began Russia's special military operation to free the LPR and DPR from Ukraine.

Casualties were numerous people who were killed or left cities that Russia allegedly bombed. At one point, the Ukrainian forces backed by western arms were supposed to stop a Russian juggernaut in the east and south of the country.

Russian forces surged forward to the north part of Bakhmut into Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region, followed by the heavy attack on Kupiansk and Lyman, where the AFU could not stop the Russian juggernaut.

Next, the Russia surge is readying to harass the AFU in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. The accusation was rife that civilian settlement was attacked by the Russians intentionally.

Moscow accused Kyiv of orchestrating attacks on the Belgorod border in Russia, but Zelensky denied it. The Wagner chief complains the ammunition supply for his men is withheld, and they cannot hold Bakhmut, as sources claim.
