RT: Wagner chief reveals losses in fight for key Donbass city
Ukrainian casualties during the battle for Artyomovsk were several times higher than Russian ones, Evgeny Prigozhin has claimed
The head of Russia’s Wagner Group, Evgeny Prigozhin, has revealed that the private military company lost around 20,000 servicemen during the liberation of the strategic Donbass city of Artyomovsk, also known as Bakhmut, from Ukrainian forces.
In an interview published by Wagner’s press service on Tuesday, Prigozhin said that during the long-running battle he had boosted the company’s ranks with 50,000 inmates from Russian prisons, who were offered the chance to fight instead of completing their sentences.
“Around 20% of them have died,” Prigozhin said. “The casualties among them were the same as among those who enlisted by contract with us.”
This suggests that Wagner’s losses in Artyomovsk, which is a key settlement in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), amounted to some 10,000 former prisoners and 10,000 military professionals.

WNU Editor: What the Western media is ignoring is Prigozhin's disclosure that a minimum of 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in the battle for Bakhmut.

100,000 Ukrainians killed in Bakhmut? Are you fucking serious? That's the biggest load of Russian propaganda bullshit I've ever heard. I live in Ukraine, work with the Ukrainian military, and can say for certain that the real death toll of Ukrainians is nowhere near 100,000 — and the Russians suffered far, far worse than the Ukrainians. Whatever sources gave you that 100,000 KIA figure are spoon-feeding you some grade-A bullshit.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe then you can tell us what happened to the Ukrainian military and why the need 14yo boys and girls in uniform. The vanishing of all these Uke soldiers is perplexing, unless they really are battlefield casualties.
DeleteAnswer, funny man.
DeleteSince you're there you got any concrete info to share with the group? Would love to check it out
ReplyDeleteI got something for you to check out. Give me sec...
ReplyDelete100,000 huh? Yeah, sure. Is that counting civilians?
ReplyDelete100,000 might be a stretch but that was a pretty nasty battle, I'm sure there are MIA in that mess
ReplyDeleteWnu ..100k and you beleive it ?, that would suggest Russia lose 250k..didn't happen either way
ReplyDeletenaw
DeleteSo Wagner lost 20k and WNU feels better than sex at the 5 to 1 kill ratio. Of course, no regular Russian army personnel died in or around Bakhmut, so WWNU is taking his joy to the bank.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to get good casualty figures open source. So we could use proxies like tanks destroyed. Soon we will see T-34s on the battle field. Can't be far behind the souped-up, tricked-out T-55s.
WNU just taking our hits for his site to cash in and send it to bullshitov
ReplyDeleteTo that idiot who said Ukraine has 14y/os in uniform — what the fuck are you talking about? Are you referring to those bullshit Russian propaganda articles about Ukrainian kids going through boy-scot training, then spinning it into ‘child soldiers.’ You’re consuming lies and vomiting back as the truth. You’re a slave to forces you don’t see or understand.
ReplyDeleteJust look at all the western leaders and organizations that are backing Ukraines suicidal fight against Russia. To say Ukraine are the good guys is to say George Soros, Justina Trudeau, Joe Biden and Clause Schwab are the good guys as well. What side are you on?
DeleteGloria Nuland started this
DeleteYet you'll eat up Ukrainian conspiracies all day though. Are we still obsessed with "the flanks"? Bakhmut is almost surrounded, keep your eyes on the flanks! Any moment now!
ReplyDelete😂
DeleteUkrainian Cconspiracies? I’m actually here, seeing these things with my own eyeballs. You morons just repeat shit you read on the internet and pass it off as the gospel truth.
ReplyDeleteAll you dumbasses were so certain that Russia wasn’t going to invade in 2022, and you scoffed at the looming invasion, claiming it was just western media hype. And then, when Russia pulled the trigger and started laying waste to Ukrainian cities and murdering civilians en masse (I’ve seen the bodies and smelled the rotting corpses) your whole world view was shattered — but you didn’t reevaluate the sources of your information. Oh no. Instead, you just consumed the next pack of lies — not because they made any intellectual sense, but because they felt good to believe and relieved you from the burden of actually seeing the world as it truly is.
ReplyDeleteThey didn’t go into Ukraine guns blazing. They returned fire on those hiding behind civilians like cowards.
DeleteI was in Kyiv when Russia attacked on Feb. 24, 2022. I watched as Russian forces pulverized civilian areas — and as Ukrainian soldiers stepped forward and risked their lives to save civilians. You stupid fucks just read some conspiracy theory bullshit on the internet and act like you have insight into some grand truth that everyone else can’t see. Truth is, you’re an advocate for pure evil. What side am I on you ask? I’m on the side of the good — the side that’s trying to stop Russia from murdering civilians, raping women and children, and annihilating city after city to ‘liberate’ them. You should try living in Ukraine and witness for yourself what Russia is doing, day after day. After you’re done shitting yourself from fear, you’ll be begging for forgiveness for every lie you’ve told.
ReplyDeleteBuddy, I was in Iraq and and Afghanistan and we pulverized towns and cities. You can watch it on YouTube for Pete sakes. It’s a big war and it started long ago. What you see isn’t the whole picture
DeleteWell said
DeleteMost of the lies are coming from the authorities backing your cause. You might be there.. and I sincerely hope things end for the better sooner than later in your country. But here... we aren't told the truth about anything anymore
ReplyDeleteBuddy… I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, too, and I’ve lived in Ukraine since 2014, when Russia first invaded. I was in the Donbas in 2014, and I saw with my own eyes how the war started — it was a Russian invasion from day one. You disagree? Well fuck you. I was there and you weren’t. Your opinion counts for shit because you have no opinion — you’re just repeating someone else’s lies. And by the way — What you saw in Iraq and Afghanistan is fucking nothing compared with what Russia has done in Ukraine. The scale of destruction and depravity is beyond your imagination. And although you may distrust the media, it doesn’t mean you need to apologize for Russia’s genocidal rampage across Ukraine.
ReplyDelete"Buddy, I was in Iraq and and Afghanistan and we pulverized towns and cities."
ReplyDeleteYou were not in Iraq you fuck'n Russian con artist. You do not have the lingo down.
fuck you psycho
Delete10:22
ReplyDeleteYes this guy is a con artist. Look at what he is doing. All he is doing is repeating the same bullshit narrative that the pro ukie side has been bullhorning since the beginning of war. Ukie good, Rusikie bad.
Russians raping women and shooting civilians. And did we not have a female ukie official about 6 months ago admit she was lying? This guy says he has been in the Donbas from the beginning. Doing what picking his nose? What about bucha? what about the ghost of Kiev and the claim that the Russians have no tanks left, There have been so many lies that the ukie side has become illegitement when it comes to news reports and that is because they have lied so much.
The ukiraininans have had units decimated in bakhmut. You are not a Russian fan because you state so. Thier own units ad commanders have said it. Remember that guy who go tr stripped of his command because he told the truth?
Or how about the Mozart leader who described the conditions at the from...and there are More, many more stories that collaborate this.
What's this guys credentials anyway? besides this blog post?
🙄
DeleteI'm sure the locals are thrilled to have another western sex tourist trolling around Kiev.
ReplyDeletelol 😂
DeleteCome over to Ukraine and see things for yourself you fucking coward. The fact that Russians are mass murdering and raping isn’t a ‘side’… it’s the truth. And you wanna tell me Bucha was a lie — again, I was there and you weren’t, and your opinion doesn’t matter because you don’t matter. One of the most terrifying parts of this war is that I’ve watched this genocide unfold right before my eyes while idiots like you deny that it’s happening at all. It feels utterly surreal, and it fills with me with a rage you could not possibly comprehend. You are literally defending a holocaust — and why? Because you hate the mainstream media? What the fuck is wrong with you, you soulless sack of shit?
ReplyDeleteYour appeals to authority and righteousness are laughable. Loving the NPC dialogue though.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the laughable righteousness of being angry about a genocide.
ReplyDeleteof nazis
DeleteWARNING This thread is so full of Anti-Uke troll bullshit it's not worth reading. JUST MOVE ON
ReplyDeleteYour GPT4 works nice. No you are not in the Ukraine. You repeat the same crap and no I do not care who wins because these jerks deserve each other.
DeleteIf you were in the service who were you with?
Wagner lost 20,000 convicts. Not 20,000 'servicemen'. But with Wagner its a distinction without a difference.
ReplyDeleteThere are reports that the Russian prison system is telling Wagner, "No" to more convicts to the front. They need a supply to do the building of roads and repairing of sewers, etc. Not dying wholesale in Ukraine.
Is the Wagner group named after the German music man? his music very military and exciting
ReplyDelete901, 911 921 and 943 1:59 and 11:56
ReplyDeleteYour GPT4 works nice. No you are not in the Ukraine. You repeat the same crap and no, I do not care who wins because these jerks deserve each other. You are a fing jack snipe with no guts or mind.
You have no original thought and we have heard the same false statements a hundred times on this blog, without your help in repeating them. and guess what ? They all turned out to be untrue. So going thru the blog and farming /cherry picking the information and programing it into you GPT4 program is not helping anyone.
If you were in the service, who were you with?
40……Go Russia! 🇷🇺
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention in my commentary that according to the Russian Ministry of Defense numbers released on Tuesday. They say 23,000 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in the battle for Bakhmut.
ReplyDeleteLook buddy, I was personally present at way more war crimes than you. Plus I was on flight 93 and helped clean up the Roswell wreckage. So you have to shut up and believe my fairy tales.
ReplyDelete1240. Yes!,,!,! SLAVA,!!!
