 Ukrainian troops have captured a part of key Berkhovka settlement in Bakhmut, head of Russia's private Wagner military company Yevgeny Prigazin, said on Monday. Reminding that the Russian troops had regrouped in Berkhovka recently due to its strategic importance, Prigazin stressed that Russians are now fleeing the settlement. Now part of the settlement of Berkhovka has already been lost, the troops are slowly fleeing, he said. Prigazin went on to urge Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu and chief of the general staff of the Russian armed forces Varlari Jarazimov to lead the Russian troop to victory. Shame. Shoigu, Jarazimov, I urge you to come to the front, raise an army with pistols so that they go forward. Come on, you can. And if you can't, die as heroes, said Prigazin.
