  1. *NEWS FLASH:* Yevgeny Prigozhin has accidentally fallen out of a ten-story window, sometime next week 😆

    1. 😅🤣🤣🤣 that or drank some tea fortified with the Polonium 210. Who knows?

    1. ​@YoungJudah02 man I dont know which banana republic you belong, but wee dont care about your opinion

  2. When we actually see Wagner retreating, then this will be a massive win for Ukraine, especially if Ukraine can step in and can take Bakhmut back before Russia can backfill Wagner positions. If any of this actually happens, then this is going to open up another round of dissent and propaganda issues within Russia.

    1. I don’t see Wagner immediately leaving one the tenth if this is true, more than likely they will slowly rotate their positions to the ordinary Russian soldiers then leave (provided if they actually do intend on leaving Bakhmut and is not lying) but again the Russian military is highly incompetent, Wagner has more competence than the normal military, so if that does happen, it could indeed be an much needed advantage for Ukraine.

    2. @CH0L3R1C Oh, I do believe they have an ammunition shortage. Russia’s economy is in a seriously bad state an can’t manufacture ammunition quickly enough to meet demand.

  3. It would be great if Wagner pulls out and the russian army has to fill the gap – it will weaken other sections of the front-line which could be an advantage for Ukraine.

    1. @Simon Edge Are you suggesting that behaviour today can be justified by behaviour a few hundred years back? What’s next, celebrating torture and executions in the city square?

    2. @AK A few hundred years ago?? Up until a few decades ago the French Foreign Legion turned a blind eye to to anybody joining and provided a totally brand new identity to applicants upon signup (for a 5 year contract). Your comment about “integrating criminals into fighting units not being a good idea”… The FFL has the well-earned reputation of being one of the toughest, and effective fighting units in history.

    3. It’s highly unlikely that Wagner will pull out without giving time for the Russian soldiers to take over their positions. Putting the Russian Military in an highly exposed position (and if it actually gets overrun by Ukraine taking advantage if they do indeed pull out) it will be a death sentence for Prigozhen. More than likely if they are in fact leaving Wagner will start packing up, wait for ordinary russian military soldiers to take over their positions then pull out.

  4. Hotel Clerk: “We have a very nice suite on 18th floor”

    Prigozhin: “Ground floor please”

    1. the prophet mohamd said : The Jews split into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in Paradise(Those who are faithful to God and worship Him alone and muslum by the path of Moses until the coming of Jesus ) and seventy in Hell . The Christians split into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which will be in Hell and one in Paradise(Those who are faithful to God and worship Him alone and muslum by the path of jessus until the coming of mohamed). I swear by the One Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, my nation will split into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two in Hell.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they survivors?” He said: “The main body(Those who are faithful to God and worship Him alone as salafi as al albanian and ibn otheimin ibn timia ibn kaiim ) ………We must follow the truth and not follow the devil and not follow ourselves.
      your life will change from doubt and confusion to a good and tranquil life

    2. Prigozhin: Ground floor , please.
      Hotel Clerk: Sorry, it’s already booked. A Mr. Lavrov.

    1. @Kevin Couto I agree. He is not bluffing. He is truly angry and sick of the (corrupt) Russian leadership and not providing him what he needs.

  5. The fact that Russia thinks they can attack a country but can’t be attacked on their homeland is baffling

    1. He returns to Russia, and a group of Pewtins security guides him to an open 20story window. He accidentally gets pushed out. For some strange reason, someone must’ve tied his hands and feet together after he hit the ground.

    2. 😂😂😂😂nah WWE characters actually have talent this guys is less than a mall cop

    1. ​@ناصر الحق wait a minute are you talking about the angry god that does horrible things?

  6. “Screw you guys, I’m going home!”

    The way Wagner was fighting, was basically just blowing through the limited stockpiles of Russian ammunition and artillery’s shells like they had no limit, but there was a limit and Wagner was wasting so much of it, that’s why their ammunition was cut down. They really weren’t “cut down” but they were given just as much as the other various Russian factions fighting in the war. Wagner now is limited to what everyone else gets, and that’s why they can’t succeed anymore.

    10x the ammunition and artillery shells wasted, likely tens of thousands of Russian lives lost, and for what? A few dozen city blocks?

    1. Apparently the Ukrainians were wrong to call the Russian invaders an “orc army.” Say what you will about Sauron, at least he had leaders who weren’t a bunch of loose cannons. They had a plan and did what they were told.

  7. The fact that people believe the words of Yevgeny Prigozhin given in a viral video in the fog of war is astonishing. If I were a Ukrainian General I’d be very skeptical and would not rush into the Calderon of Bakhumut. Interesting how he used the name Bakhumut which is the Ukrainian word for the city and not the Russian one. Makes me wonder who this message was intended for. 🧐

    1. @Mak7776 this statement would makes sense in the 1800 not in the age of satellites and drones conducting recon lol you wouldn’t be able to fake withdrawal

    2. Ukrainian minister of defense has already called BS on this, they say their intel shows them reinforcing their positions.

  8. The interpreter in the clip of Prigozhin killed it. Great job conveying the tone without being over the top

  9. “Please stop shooting at us now. We are out of ammo and want to go home.”
    – Every Wagner mercenary goon.

  10. My heart breaks that so many sweet choirboys and gentle Wagner darlings are having a hard time.

  11. One of the best things the reporter said here is when he points out the hypocrisy by mentioning that the wagner chief, the guy who’s actually responsible for sending those men to their deaths, suddenly has an emotional conscience towards human life and his fallen “comrades”.
