They stopped near Bakhmut and took some of their units away from it to Soledar, Reznikov noted.

| #2 Can't believe Reznikov. Can't believe Dale. There is no telling how many have died so far in this war or how many are yet to die. It's not like Reznikov was out there counting corpses himself and he wouldn't tell the truth even if he had. What kind of war is it? Oh, right. The kind where people get killed. |

| #1 Fairy tale. Fake news for the west. Wagner main force and the tunnels underground prized target. US military equipment even tanks travel these huge tunnels. They have stuff stored from WW1. The rush is on for Bakhmut 100 mile underground tunnels a treasure trove of nearly everything. Bakhmut a name not Russian but Ukrainian. There again Wagner figures to play a major part. Wagner's future throughout the world is the long term goal. Wagner group gaining too much popularity in the minds of Russian military. |
