“On May 10, 2023, we are forced to hand over positions in the village of Bakhmut to the units of the Ministry of Defense and withdraw the remnants of the Wagner PMC to the rear camps to lick wounds.

- On March 19, 2022, all units arrived from various directions from Africa and joined the first battle.

- The operation Bakhmut Meat Grinder was highly effective, distracted a huge number of enemy forces and enabled the Russian army to occupy advantageous defensive lines and continue the offensive…
