The new report of May 26 states that the Armed Forces held successful counterattacks in the area of Orikhovo-Vasylivka and Klyshchiyivka. However, Wagnerivtsi are still present in Bakhmut, and although the pace of Russian offensive operations around the city is declining. Thus, on May 26, Russian troops conducted in vain offensive operations in the Bakhmut area and in the direction of the forecast.
According to analysts, there is no confirmation that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has relocated regular troops to replace the mercenaries of the Wagner PEC. However, it is reported that there is a replacement of the "Wagner" soldiers of the so-called 123rd DNR brigade. Previously, they were stationed near Siversky. Experts also noted that the Ukrainian forces take the initiative around Bakhmut.
This may allow the Armed Forces to start a new phase of operations in the battle of the city. Recall that on May 25, the head of the Wagner PEC Yevhen Prigogin announced the exit of his mercenaries from Bakhmut. According to "Putin's cook", the personnel servicemen of the Russian Federation will transfer positions, ammunition and dry soldering. The exit of the Wagnerists from Bakhmut must be made until June 1.
