Russian MoD Confirms Bakhmut Retreat, Prighozin Responds

For the last forty-eight hours, Russian military bloggers and pro-Western journalists have been flailing over the purported start of a Ukrainian counter-offensive. While President Zelensky has denied the claims, countered by Wagner owner Prghozin's claims that Ukrainian troops are advancing around Bakhmut, the Russian Ministry of Defense has officially confirmed that at least one of it's units has retreated from Northwest Bakhmut and taken up new defensive positions after Ukrainian gains.
