It was not clear if the statement of Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of Russia's Wagner Group mercenary force, could be taken at face value, as he has frequently posted impulsive comments in the past.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of Russia’s Wagner Group mercenary force, said in a sudden and dramatic announcement on Friday, May 5, that his forces would leave the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut that they have been trying to capture since last summer.
“I declare on behalf of the Wagner fighters, on behalf of the Wagner command, that on May 10, 2023, we are obliged to transfer positions in the settlement of Bakhmut to units of the defense ministry and withdraw the remains of Wagner to logistics camps to lick our wounds,” Prigozhin said in a statement.
Wagner has been spearheading Russia’s attempt to capture Bakhmut since last summer, in the longest and bloodiest battle of the war in Ukraine.
