By Matt MurphyBBC News

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin dismissed Russia's claims to have inflicted heavy losses on Ukraine in the Donbas when Kyiv attempted offensive action.
Prigozhin said the claims were " simply wild and absurd science fiction".

Russia said The Attack was part of a Ukrainian " long-promised offensive" in the Donetsk region, which took place over Sunday and Monday.

" The attempts at an offensive have failed. The Enemy has been halted. Russian soldiers and officers displayed courage and heroism in the battles, " Mr Shoigu said, adding that 71 Russian troops died in the fighting.
However, Prigozhin was quick to hit out at the defence ministry's claims on Monday evening, saying the claims of a huge success would amount to a " massacre".
" Therefore, I think that these are just some wild fantasies, " he wrote on Telegram. He also accused Russian forces of " slowly" withdrawing from The Village of Berkhivka on The Outskirts of Bakhmut, calling it a " disgrace".
Moscow rejected Prigozhin's claims in a statement on Tuesday. It said his allegations did " not correspond to reality" and insisted that the suburb remained under Moscow's control.

In a video address late on Monday, President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Ukrainian fighters for delivering " The News We Are expecting" in the Bakhmut region.
Bakhmut has for months been at The Heart of fierce fighting. It has little strategic Value - But is important symbolically both for Kyiv and Moscow.
Prigozhin's fighters were heavily involved in The Battle for Bakhmut, and he regularly criticised Russian officials for what He Said was a lack of front-line support. But at The End of May in order to transfer control to The Russian army.
He is believed to hold his own political ambitions, and his forces' objectives have not always aligned with the military's, resulting in tension between the factions.

In a video released by The Group , The Officer said that The Incident happened while he was drunk, and that he had opened fire due to his dislike for Wagner.
