Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "Prigozhin: Wagner has started moving its forces out of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut | DW News" video.

What I have learned from DW News and its colleagues in the news business is that telling it like it is makes for the best way to present the news and DW News does a fine job of doing just that. As far as what is the most appalling and the most distressing and the absolute hardest thing for me to understand from the Ukrainian / Russian conflict is how the Wagner Chief was allowed to direct military operations in the first place. We will one day undoubtedly have some sort of ball park figure of how many untrained, ill-equipped and poorly motivated Russian soldiers were sent to their untimely deaths in wave after wave in a large part to draw out Ukrainian artillery units and pinpoint enemy strategic positions. Cannon fodder is what even Russian soldiers were calling themselves. A lot of us reading this were once 19 or 20 years old and if we remember a little, it was a marvelous life out there waiting to be lived to the fullest, but not by the Russian conscripts and former prisoners that the Wagner Chief carelessly and cruelly sent to their early deaths to take a city that had very little strategic value. It's heartbreaking and unimaginable to think a world superpower would have commanders who had no business running battalions, let alone being in charge of military operations with no experience in the military like Prigozhin himself. Pathetic

@garydurham784 GGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. The Wagner Chief is a former catering chef. That's like going to hospital and needing an operation and the chief surgeon operating on you today is the head of maintenance, because the trauma surgeon fell out with the Hospital director. Putin picked Prigozin because he's loyal. Seriously, the sad awful fact is that someone who knows nothing about military operations caused the death of tens of thousands of young men. At the least it's unprofessional.
