“There is a positive dynamic, everything is developing according to plans,” Putin said, in an interview broadcasted Sunday. “I hope that our fighters will please us more than once again.”This could be a key gain as Russian forces push towards what has been their main target since October — the nearby transport crossroads of Bakhmut.
The Russian defence ministry initially made no mention of Wagner when it claimed victory, only later praising the “bravery” of Wagner’s troops in Soledar.The nod was an unusual recognition of the controversial force following talk of infighting and rivalry between Wagner and the official military. Late Saturday, Prigozhin praised his mercenaries in a veiled jab at Russian army command, which has been criticised for poor coordination and being too far removed from the ground.“Everyone can express his opinion,” Prigozhin claimed, “but once a decision has been taken, all tasks are fulfilled. It is our group’s strictest discipline that gives us these possibilities.”
Wagner, which has been accused of abuses in the Central African Republic, Libya, Mali, Syria and Ukraine, has recruited thousands of convicts to fight in Ukraine.
