Salt addiction of Prigozhin: 'Wagner' PMC mercenaries are trying to capture Bakmut to plunder it

The 'obsession' of the head of 'Wagner' PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, with Bakhmut is due to monetary motives, namely, the desire to gain control over salt and gypsum mines. This is what the US administration thinks, according to Reuters. The Russian army and 'Wagner's' mercenaries have been unable to capture Bakhmut for more than 6 months and are suffering huge losses there. Whether all this is really for the sake of natural deposits and whether the Russian side will be able to take possession of them
