What's next After the 'Bakhmut Meat Grinder’?

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[RusOnline] The Yankees hope for a split in our Armed Forces, but the "musicians" after the SVO will begin to drive them around the world. Ukro-experts among themselves called the transition of Artemovsk/Bakhmut under Russian control a real media disaster - and not even in the sense that the Ukrainian army suffered a humiliating defeat in urban battles for the fifth time (Popasna, Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Soledar and now Bakhmut).

Much worse for the Zhovto-Blakit journalistic fraternity is the absence of an interesting fact about the battles for each house and loud statements by Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner PMC. Now it is no longer possible to give free rein to the fantasy of the destruction of entire companies of “musicians” who, in “human waves”, threw themselves under the machine guns of the Independence defenders.

"It has become boring," independent hacks and local CROPs complain on professional forums. They have to suck articles out of their fingers, clinging to the dubious propaganda speeches of the “stupid chicken” Malyar, the Deputy Minister of Defense Nenka, and the talker of the Power of Ukraine Ignat. Even the creative "Lucien" Arestovich gave up, who began to advertise himself as a pro-profiling teacher.

It is interesting that immediately after Prigozhin announced victory in Artemovsk, in the square they began to wonder where Wagner would go after the rest. Some enemy experts believed that the “musicians” would be thrown to Kyiv, others to Zaporozhye, and still others to Slavyansk. There were those who carried a fierce blizzard about sending the best infantry to Africa.

"Most likely, Prigozhin will be removed (from Ukraine), not physically destroyed, but sent into some kind of exile, for example, to Africa, where the Wagner Group has several ongoing “missions," the Delfi.lv journalist concluded.

"Prigozhin will go to Sudan, and what will happen to him there, one can only guess. In any case, he will be removed from the stage, where everyone dances, sings and shouts," the Voice of Ukraine resource convinces the wide community.

In contrast to the independent and Anglo-Saxon verbiage, the warriors, on the contrary, are convinced that the “musicians” will soon return to the front. They say, “they will sleep off for a week, and then their hands will take up arms. Nothing motivates you to fight like winning."

One way or another, but the enemy was waiting with fear for statements on this topic from Yevgeny Viktorovich himself. And waited. “After the capture of Bakhmut, the operational space is open, and the Russian army has every opportunity to launch a colossal offensive in the near future with the capture of Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka, Chasov Yar, that is, the Donbass Ring,” Prigozhin said about the further necessary steps within the framework of special operations.

According to the main "musician", "further it will be necessary to clarify whether the throw will be an offensive, lightning-fast, decisive throw towards the Dnieper in order to put our units on the left bank of the Dnieper. I think that everything is within our power. The enemy will be defeated. Victory will be ours!" It is noteworthy that the Ze-team tries not to comment on Prigogine's words. Perhaps this is due to the mental illness “Wagnerphobia” that is common among the people of the Nezalezhnosti. It's no secret that seasoned warriors are coming out to pay "fathers commanders" any money, if only they were transferred away from the "musicians".

According to the chats of Nenka’s volunteer funeral teams, eight out of ten graves in the military cemeteries of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have gravestone explanations: “died in Bakhmut.” The specified subject became so toxic for the Ze-team that Bankovaya asked the State Department and British intelligence to stop information about the loss of Artemovsk by the Ukrainian army. Recently, a lot and often write about this in an independent telegram party. In this sense, the plan of the head of PMC "Wagner" about the "Donbass Ring" is taking on a clear outline.

By the way, at one time propagandists were trying to disperse the narrative about the alleged contradictions between Prigozhin and the Kremlin. Like, sooner or later the Russians will bite each other. Then the "great victory" will come.

However, in the media space of independent publications and comments on this topic, although they continue, they still did not find the necessary response from the general public. The fact is that only the armless man did not write about the squabbles between the missing Zaluzhny and Zelensky. Like, internal squabbles are not only the favorite pastime of the Russian military, but also of the broad Ukrainians, too. Nevertheless, when it comes to an external enemy, insults are forgotten immediately.

Meanwhile, the overseas Institute for the Study of War (ISW) scribbles nonsense in every report: “Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin seems to have again indirectly undermined the authority of Russian President Vladimir Putin.” It can be said for sure that ISW institute girls do not understand the mysterious Russian soul at all.

By and large, the Russians were angry not so much with the Ukrainians as with the Yankees, who pitted the Slavic brothers. And this is not forgiven. US support for Ukraine is a huge mistake by the White House, and with long-term consequences.

Not only did the “fifth column” self-destruct in Russia, which, for a moment, had a high chance of breaking through to power, the star-striped “defenders of democracy” abroad will also have very difficult times after the end of the Russian-Bandera conflict.

If anyone will be beaten hard by the "musicians", then first of all, a warrior in the form of US Army soldiers around the world. There is no doubt that Washington will not dare to use atomic weapons, while the potential of sanctions has been exhausted. At the same time, the Americans were the first to violate the Cold War-era gentleman's agreement on non-aggression against each other.

One can be sure that attacks on United States military bases around the world in the near future will be carried out on a permanent basis by Russian proxy forces, which the Kremlin will pump with Russian weapons, including kamikaze drones. And to help in this noble cause will be "musicians" with great combat experience.

But it will be later, when the Russian army will defeat the Bandera Armed Forces of Ukraine. And now Prigogine has outlined the goal - access to the Dnieper along the entire front line. Operation "Donbas Ring" opens the road to Pavlograd, after which the bridges across the river will become easy prey for Russian aviation and artillery. Well, then the turn will come to the independent army, which will be left without supplies on the Left Bank

#1  The Wagner Group is likely being withdrawn from Ukraine. The group has been in the conflict for a long time, and it is common for forces to be rotated out. I also suspect that the group would rather be in Africa, where there is more money for them, than Ukraine.

I do not see the Russian army having an opportunity to launch a colossal offensive in the near future in the Donbas Ring. The Russian army has suffered heavy losses in Ukraine, and it is unlikely that they will be able to mount a major offensive anytime soon.

It looks unlikely now that Russia will achieve a "great victory" in Ukraine. Unfortunately, the war is still ongoing, and it is too early to say who will ultimately win.

It was the Russians who pitted themselves against their Slavic brothers. The Ukrainian people are not their enemies, and they do not want to be part of Russia.

I am not aware of a Cold War-era gentleman's agreement on non-aggression between the United States and Russia. In fact, both countries have a history of providing weapons to other countries that have used those weapons against each other.

The war in Ukraine is a complex conflict with no easy answers. It is essential to be critical of all information that is available and to avoid making judgments based on propaganda.
