“This is already despair. There were hopes that the Ugledar failure of the Ministry of Defense would lead to a reaction these days. At the same time, Prigozhin, as it turned out, really managed to promise some kind of results from the Wagner PMC. And as a result, the chances of being on a victorious wave against the backdrop of failure PMCs have no General Staff members.
In principle, the attack aircraft from among the prisoners were initially thought to be exchanged for promotion in Bakhmut – there is no way to terminate the contract with them ahead of schedule, and for other purposes they are useless. But with the rate of resource consumption as it is now, we will run out of criminals, and quite quickly, but there will be no result. Then the end of the Orchestra may come.
What is Wagner’s problem now: the combination of assault group tactics and art coverage has encountered insurmountable problems. The first is the shortage of attack aircraft, this is understandable. But then comes the second thing – the more coverage is done, the more people are needed to control and hold these territories. Even without taking into account the assault. And thirdly, more and more shells are needed. More and more. And there are fewer and fewer of them.
And then we took risks: Wagner does not have its own reserves. If suddenly the Ukrainian Armed Forces go on a big offensive, then Wagner has no lines of defense. Every meter of progress in Bakhmut is a mountain of corpses. And in the event of a breakthrough by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they will be able to simply take as much as they want, because there is no one to build a defense. It’s stupid to rely on the Ministry of Defense.
Since the situation is not being changed, Prigozhin is raising the stakes now: he will be accused of leaking the losses of the Musicians – then the losses of the Ministry of Defense under Ugledar may be laid out in response. You know what’s interesting?
Wagner now has huge losses, but there is at least some result. What about the General Staff? The result they have is a colonel general for Muradov and significantly greater losses of people, equipment – everything.”
