Wagner chief tells Russia's Shoigu of coming Ukrainian attack
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:00:58 GMT
Yevgeny Prigozhin, Russian mercenary chief, told Sergei Shoigu in a Monday (20 March) letter that the Ukrainian army was planning an offensive to cut off Wagner forces from the main Russian contingent in eastern Ukraine.The letter was published by his press agency. Prigozhin stated that the "large-scale attack" was being planned for late March or early April.He said that he asked for all the necessary measures to ensure the Wagner private military company is not cut off from the main Russian army forces, which would have negative consequences for the special-military operation.This was the first time Prigozhin published correspondence with the defense minister, whom he has often criticised for his conduct during the war.This unusual move had two possible goals: to misunderstand Ukraine commanders and to blame Shoigu, not Prigozhin if the purported Ukrainian maneuver was successful.Prigozhin stated that he had provided details about the Ukrainian plan as well as his own counter-propo...Presale Codes for Bryson Tiller Back and I’m Better Tour

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My daughter moved to Europe several years ago and met a wonderful man, to whom she is now engaged. Her father and I are delighted.They are likely to marry near their home in Europe so that their friends and his family can easily attend. Of course, we will, too.The rest of our family and friends live in the U.S. I think destination weddings are an imposition, and we’re happy to host a reception near our home. However, several people have already told us they’re eager to attend a wedding in Europe.How do I sort this? I can’t envision sending a wedding invitation with check boxes indicating “preferred destination.” Should I call/email/text guests beforehand to explain the situation? That seems weird.GENTLE READER: A wedding near the bridal couple’s home is not a destination wedding, but Miss Manners takes your point that the travel may be difficult or impossible for some.Related ArticlesAdvice | Miss Manners: I’m t...The Manhattan Transfer brings 50th anniversary farewell tour to Strathmore in North Bethesda
