Ukraine Update Feb 9, 2023

⚡️Lt. Gen. Konashenkov has returned.
⚡️The head of Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, gave an explanation about the use of chemical weapons by the UAF militants. "Yesterday we witnessed a vile and cowardly war with the use of prohibited substances by the enemy, thereby our enemy demonstrated personal agony and inability to defeat us on the battlefield by honest means, however, in doing so, he untied our hands. The jokes are over, Based on this, we decided to deal with the enemy in the same way as he did, so from tomorrow we start".
From it it became known that Prigozhin instructed his punishers to find and punish those ukrov who dropped chemical weapons on Wagner soldiers. The perpetrators were found and, on behalf of Prigozhin, they filmed a video of the massacre (not in this video)
