Prigozhin released today a new interview going over the current state of affairs as well as looking back at the events preceding the start of the "SMO". In this first bit, he explains that the Donbas was plundered by Russians since 2014 and the 2022 war began for reasons very different from those advertised to the public.

In continuation of his interview, Prigozhin lists two reasons for the start of the SMO: a) personal ambitions of Shoygu and b) the desire of Russia's ruling clan, who were not satisfied with the Donbas, to appoint Medvedchuk as the president of Ukraine and divide its assets between each other for plundering. According to Prigozhin, denazification and demilitarisation make no sense since Azov wouldn't be exchanged for Medvedchuk otherwise.

Prigozhin says that by the time Wagner arrived in Ukraine in March of 2022, it was already impossible to be talking about any victory as the forces were simply not enough, but the military leadership was demanding advances, even of 50-100 meters per day, and the dead were not counted.

Prigozhin says again that Rusian lines in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson are falling, and it is only a matter of time until moves similar to Kherson and Kharkiv regroupings take place. Local Russian commanders are forced to provide false reports on their positions so as to not antagonise the high command.

Prigozhin claims that "Russian MoD carried out a missile strike at Wagner rear camps".
Evgeniy Prigozhin published an audio message claiming that a "huge number of Wagner fighters have died" in the "missile strike" and that the "next step belongs to Wagner".
Shortly before Prigozhin's claim, a video emerged on a Russian channel "Razgruzka Vagnera" where two Russian-speaking men can be seen roaming an area of the alleged "missile strike", panicked. This is the video Prigozhin references in his audio message.
If this story is completely made up, it's being executed very poorly. The video is not very convincing that it's real and not staged.

Russian state TV is now doubting the effectiveness of Wagner which took much longer to "liberate a less important Bakhmut" in comparison to Mariupol". Hilarious.
The biggest irony is that this will actually work and in a few weeks, Wagner will be condemned by Russians who get all their news from TV.

Convicts must be kept in prison until they are lawfully released, but in "united like never before" Russia, human life costs nothing, and penal soldiers returned from the frontline are kept in inhumane conditions without treatment before being sent to the frontline again.

An intercepted call published by GUR reveals the mental state of a Russian soldier who is "so sick of everything he wants to shoot himself".
Unfortunately, the call is not dated and thus only has some "entertainment" value.

Russian mobiks deployed to defend Bakhmut are forced into "suicidal" counter-attacks and punished for refusing to do so.
This is reported by a mobik from the 1428 Regiment who made a video appeal claiming the regiment command seized their weapons when their unit was defeated by Ukrainian artillery on the approaches to the "zero line".
The status change is done by forcing the mobiks to sign volunteer contracts meaning they could be sent into meat assaults. The mobiks refused to sign the contract.

❗️Excplicit combat footage warning.
Footage from a bodycam belonging to a Ukrainian 3rd Assault Brigade fighter "Datsik" shows the assault of a treeline occupied by Russians by the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Brigade in Bakhmut direction.
A number of P.O.W.s were seen captured and given first aid. At around the 3-minute mark, Datsik nearly loses his life while searching a wounded Russian soldier who blows himself up not wanting to surrender.

One of Wagner's channels GREY ZONE published an audio message by Prigozhin reportedly recorded today where he thanks people for "support" and promises "future victories on the frontline".
If the recording truly belongs to Prigozhin, he does not sound particularly confident in this one.

A train transferring old Russian tanks was noticed in Voronezh - judging by the comments of the locals, even they realise what sort of old stuff Russia has to resort to.

Mobiks of the Russian regime have lost over 50% of their company resisting the offensive in Novodarivka, west of Rivnopil, both recently liberated by the Ukrainian defence forces. Mobiks are forced to fight without artillery support, are left without provision and water, and as they claim they haven't been paid since January.

Another group of Russian mobiks are begging the Kremlin Ripper to help in the situation they ended up in: put on the first line to defend against relentless Ukrainian attacks with no artillery support or ammunition.

Convicts from Storm Z units are asking the Kremlin Ripper to stop sending them into "massacres", appealing to his human feelings I suppose, which is ironic given that he gave a go for convicts to be utilised on the frontlines.
They say they're being purposefully "murdered" with own artillery shelling. Their company lost 75% of its personnel.
Those with wounds are allowed two days to heal before sending them back.
The convicts say they came to "fight fascism", but turns out that it is their command who are fascists.
