 Prigozin. One day Russia will wake up to discover that Crimea 2 has been handed over to Ukraine. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu and Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov provide false information to the country's leadership about the state of the war. Yevgeny Prigozin, leader of Russia's Wagner private mercenary group, told Novy Den newspaper. According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are located 25 kilometers from the front line in the direction of Zaporizia. Prigozin said that the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff are giving terribly false information to the leadership. They are misleading the Russian people, he said. Pyatikatiki is under the enemy. The northern part of Robertin is under the enemy. The Euro-Zane is enemy and that shows that huge parts were given to the enemy. Then over Tokhmat in Sadov village, there is the enemy and pray to God it's some solitary group of 50 to 100 people. But there isn't any kind of control, no weapons, no ammunition. The soldiers spent while days writing letters that they need ammunition. They need shells, anti-tank means. They need grenades and armor-piercing cartridges. In an extraordinarily candid assessment, Prigozin also suggested propaganda was crowding out reality, suggesting the world has once again divided into two realities with all information shut down. Referring to a strategically important estuary of the Sea of Azov, he continued, if he reaches Malochny Lyman, then the majority of the territory seized during the so-called special military operation will be returned to the enemy. The enemy is starting to force through the Nipro River. In Hola, Kresten, there are already saboteur reconnaissance groups appearing first and starting today regular troops as well. And all this is completely hidden from everyone. One day, Russia will wake up to discover that Crimea 2 has been handed over to Ukraine, he said. Kiev has reported modest gains retaking eight settlements in the first cautious steps of a fight back against entrenched Russian positions.
