Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has announced he will hand over the positions of his mercenaries in Bakhmut, Donetsk , to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov 's soldiers by May 10, when his fighters withdraw from the city.
«I am already contacting his representatives to immediately start the transfer of positions, so that on May 10 at 00.00, exactly at the moment when, according to our calculations, we completely exhaust our combat potential, our comrades will take our place and they will continue the assault on the village of Bakhmut ,” Prigozhin said.
Yesterday in an incendiary message, showing the many corpses of his fighters, Prigozhin had attacked the military leaders in Moscow who had left the Wagner without weapons or ammunition.
Today he formalized the imminent handover: «I thank Ramzan Akhmatovich (Kadyrov) for accepting - most likely having the opportunity to obtain everything necessary and all the resources - to take over our positions in Bakhmut. Little more than two square kilometers remain to be conquered, the city will no doubt be taken by his forces .'
