Wagner Group’s, Yevgeny Prigozhin, called for the Kremlin to declare an end to the war and concentrate on territory already gained.
On Friday, Prigozhin’s press service suggested it’s time to declare victory.
“For the authorities and for society as a whole, it is necessary to put some kind of bold full stop in the ‘special military operation,’” said the Wagner chief.
“The ideal option is to announce the end of the special military operation, to inform everyone that Russia has achieved the results that it planned, and in a sense, we have really achieved them. We have ground a huge number of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and can report to ourselves that our task has been completed.”
“Theoretically, Russia has already received this full stop by destroying a large part of the active male population of Ukraine, by intimidating another part of it that has fled to Europe.”
“Russia has cut off the Azov Sea and a large chunk of the Black Sea, seized a fat chunk of Ukraine’s territory, and created a land corridor to Crimea,” and stressed that Russia can “gain a firm foothold, cling to the territories that already exist.”
But he noted that “If earlier Ukraine was part of former Russia, now it is an absolutely national-oriented state.”
This comes as Wagner has taken control of about 80% of Bakhmut.
Is it likely Putin will end the war? He said he wanted to protect the people of Eastern Ukraine from the Nazis, and now he’d be faced with a much larger threat trying to keep the land unless he conquers all of Ukraine. He believes Ukraine is Russia, and they didn’t abide by the agreement to remain neutral.

Russia achieved its goals. The war is not over with the corrupt instigator of this war, the USA, pouring many billions into Ukraine and urging aggressive action. Russia should now hold this territory and then each day makes it more difficult for the NWO to overturn it. The NWO lost this battle. It was not close, 1 year later major territory has been taken. The USA records indicates 17,000 Russians died.
The USA did not enter the war as much as the NWO wanted. This is the same thing which happened in Syria, where the USA was also baited into WW3. In both cases, the conflict was instigated by the NWO and assisted by corrupt USA intel/defense people.
How about Volodymyr Zelenskyy concede Defeat, and take his Billions to a friendly European Country.
For one; Prigozhin is not the commander of the Wagner forces, even though he’s visited the combat theater.
His words seem a bit premature. It is still imperative Russia takes Avdiivka, Marinka and the Eastern bank of Kherson. These areas have been firing missiles into the civilian areas of Donetsk and Kherson.
It appears Russian regular forces are also in the area. It’s believed Wagner doesn’t use the T-90M tank but they have been spotted in these areas.
Evidently the US has heeded the warnings from Russia. Ever since the downing of the Reaper no surveillance aircraft has entered the airspace of the Black Sea. All the drones are flying in Romanian airspace, sometimes on the Moldovan border and other times along the coast.
