The leader of Russia's notorious Wagner mercenary group, which for months led Moscow's grueling effort to capture the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, on Monday called it a 'disgrace' that Ukraine's troops had managed to recapture ground near the town.
Ukraine's fight along the front lines was"never idle," he said, adding that it was"some days more intense, some days less" but stressing that around Bakhmut in particular, over the last couple weeks Ukrainian forces"have been counterattacking."
He said it was all part of Ukraine's military strategy to prepare"for the next stage of the offensive... moving little by little" to reclaim all occupied territory from Russia.Sak urged people not to accept anything Moscow claimed about the state of the war, telling the BBC that Russian officials were"lying on a daily basis about everything," including by trying to pass off"old footage of destroyed military equipment" as new.
CBS News cannot verify the Russian video, or the claims made with it, and Ukrainian officials have consistently sent mixed signals about when the counteroffensive will begin. That could be a deliberate military tactic in itself. Across Ukraine's eastern border inside Russia, meanwhile, a new front line has seemingly opened up. Anti-Kremlin militia groups, fighting alongside Ukrainian forces, have stepped up attacks in Russia's Belgorod border region.
