Wagner chief threatens to pull out of Bakhmut if Russia doesn't supply more ammunition

The Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has recorded a video message threatening to leave the besieged eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut on 10 May.

'I’m pulling Wagner units out of Bakhmut because in the absence of ammunition, they’re doomed to perish senselessly,' Prigozhin said in the message addressed to Putin and the ministry of defence. Wagner has played a key role in the months-long assault on Bakhmut, a high-profile battlefield with limited strategic value. While Prigozhin has threatened to leave the city before, observers say the latest tirade marks an unusual level of infighting in Russia.

He’s lucky there isn’t any windows close by to fall out of.

The fact that Russia thinks they can attack a country but can't be attacked on their homeland is baffling

Many people are asking why Prigozhin is recording the video, it’s very simple; Prigozhin appeals to Russian media for help for PMCs, because the Russian government refuses to provide the Wagner with ammunition and any assistance, as I said it leads to the destruction of Wagner in Bahmut

Mother, a few days ago we waved the flag of the Motherland over the top of the Reichstag in Berlin. The war, at last, seems to be coming to an end. There is very little fighting left in the enemy. Soon I will be returning to our home. There are German prisoners of war everywhere. Today, I crossed the Elbe River in Germany and shook hands with an American soldier. Although I could not understand anything he said, I felt this man was my brother... and I think he felt the same.

It's hard to have sympathy for someone who makes his money from having a private army.

So this is what my stepdad’s airsoft team has been up to 🤔

Best show playing. But the end hasn't been written.

I feel like he can coup the Ruskkie gov easily right now

[erickzuniga]

This has to be bait. I think they want the ukranains to come out of their defensive positions. Theres no way this man would still be alive if it were not bait.

It seems Wagner will lose in Bakhmut. In 8 months with gigantic losses they never managed to capture the city

[leeetchells]

Sorry but if you were low on ammunition would you really broadcast it to the enemy?
Come on think about it !

[susansmith]

More anger, more tirades and dissension among the Russian military, as the King sits isolated in the Kremlin. 😮
Prigozhin clearly has further political ambitions. If I were Putin I'd watch my back. Also, Prigozhin was a caterer...I wouldn't eat at that restaurant, if I were Putin, Medvedev, Shoigu, Gerasimov and company.
And...If I were Prigozhin, I'd bring back the taster, before having a little dinner. 😊

This is how the nurses strike looks like in The Upside Down.

[nickizcool]

He’s lucky there aren’t any stairs to fall down from 😂

[jaanikaapa]

They shouldn't even be in Ukraine or Crimea. Buh bye.

[thanosave]
