Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin announces withdrawal of his troops from Bakhmut on June 5. He also sets conditions for further deployment of the Wagner mercenaries in the Ukraine war.
Western experts believe that his private army has been weakened and is hardly capable of new attacks. However, he apparently left little doubt about his will to continue waging war. "Nice, isn't it," he reportedly said with a smile to a Russian reporter. He was illuminated by shots and flares from his mercenaries.
