Russian Federation began to transfer elite units to Bakhmut due to huge losses at PMC "Wagner", - Cherevaty
Russia began transferring elite units of its army, including paratroopers, to Bakhmut. The reason for this was huge losses among the fighters of the "Wagner" PMC.
As reported by Censor.NET with reference to RBC-Ukraine, Serhiy Cherevaty, the spokesman of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told about this on the air of the telethon.
"The fact that the paratroopers appeared there is not a reinforcement. "Wagner" is suffering very heavy losses, so it is forced to bring in additional units of the regular army - paratroopers and motorized riflemen in order to replenish the group in this direction," he noted.
Cherevaty added that the Russian units of paratroopers sent to Bakhmut have also suffered losses. They were supplemented by the mobilized.
According to the spokesman, the Russians lost about a hundred people killed in Bakhmut. In addition, there are wounded and seriously injured.
"They have very heavy losses, especially now this flow of Russians from prisons does not continue very much. This is the most aggressive group, "Wagner", which showed the greatest aggressiveness, the greatest dynamics of attacks, they are losing its potential," Cherevaty noted.
