Prigozhin Urges Putin To End War Now

Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner Group, has asked Russia to declare the end of the war and concentrate on gaining a foothold in the occupied territories of Ukraine, Ukrainska Pravda reported.

Kyiv Independent also said Prigozhin made the pitch in an article, saying “for the authorities of the Russian Federation, and for society as a whole, it is necessary to put some kind of bold full stop in the ‘special military operation.’”

He added: “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.”

His plea comes as the Wagner Group is slowly retreating from Bakhmut and other frontline positions after Prigozhin also declared that Russian forces will be tied down in eastern Ukraine.

He said 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. However, Prigozhin believes that there is one problem that the war caused: "If earlier Ukraine was part of former Russia, now it is an absolutely national-oriented state.”
