The leader of the Wagner group attacked the leaders of the Russian army: he insinuated that they “worked for the enemy” and demanded ammunition for his mercenaries

The founder of wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhinrecognized today a “total famine of ammunition” in the ranks of the detachments of mercenaries fighting in the Donbass and demanded more shells from the Ministry of Defence.

“This is a very serious problem. By the way, in the country there is ammunitionPrigozhin wrote on his Telegram channel.

Prigozhin, known for his close ties to the Kremlin, He acknowledged that for the moment the Defense has turned a deaf ear to all his requests. “Despite my knowledge and contacts,” he admitted.

Sometimes speaking in a loud voice, he asserted that Russian military production is now sufficient to supply the forces fighting on the front lines, and that the difficulties in supplying its fighters are the result of conscious decisions.

He assured that an interlocutor recently alluded to the “complicated relations” he has with power, which is why, in order to be supplied, he must “apologize and subordinate himself”.

“Excuse me? Before whom? 140 million Russians, please? Tell me who do I apologize to for my boys dying half as much as now?” he asked himself.

“Those who interfere with our attempt to win this war are absolutely and directly working for the enemy,” he said.

He pointed out that when General Sergei Surovikin commanded the Russian forces fighting in Ukraine “there was no problem with ammunition”.

Sin mencionarlo, sugeria que los problems comenzaron cuando la jefatura de la campaña la asumió el jefe del Estado Mayor, Valeri Guerásimov, al que Prigozhin has criticado en varias ocasiones desde el inicio de la intervention militar rusa hace un año por la falta de advances en forehead.

Wagner’s boss regretted that, while some eat with “silver cutlery” and send their daughters and grandchildren on vacation to Dubai, “Russian soldiers are dying at the front”.

“All I ask is that you give me ammo!“, he underlined.

Since the start of the conflict, Prigozhin has publicly fallen out with generals and Kremlin officials, accusing them of lacking zeal in pursuing the campaign against Kyiv.

Prigozhin reserved his harshest criticism for the Russian Defense Ministry, which he accused of trying to take credit for Wagner’s battlefield achievements.

According to the press, Prigozhin stopped recruiting detainees to fight in Ukraine on the orders of the Ministry of Defense which, according to some bloggers, had ordered to minimize Wagner’s presence in the media.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has refused to meet some MPs’ demand to legalize private military companies, but has ordered that families of mercenaries be equated with those of the military and mobilized when it comes to collecting benefits social.
