In eastern Ukraine, tension seems to have subsided on the Russian side. The leader of the paramilitary group Wagner finally announced that his men would continue to fight in Bakhmout. He affirms that the Russian army promised him to deliver the weapons and the ammunition which he claimed.
What does Yevgeny Prigozhin play? “If we listen to Evgueni Prigojine, his blackmail would have worked. He would have gotten what he wanted: weapons, ammunition and then also to deal with the general of the Russian army of his choice.“, begins the journalist Luc Lacroix, in duplex from Moscow. However, everything is not settled. Indeed, “the tone and words he used last week against the Russian Defense Minister were extremely violent“, underlines the journalist.
Eve of a major military parade
In Bakhmout (Ukraine), Evgueni Prigojine admitted that Wagner suffered heavy losses. “And he may have already reaped all the symbolic fruits he could hope for from this commitment to this battle.“, specifies the journalist. But on the eve of May 9, day of the military parade to celebrate the victory against Nazi Germany, “this is really messy for russian armed forces“, concludes Luc Lacroix.
