The leader of the Wagner Group threatens to leave the front if Putin does not provide them with ammunition

He wagner groupwhich is leading the assault on the Ukrainian region of Bakhmut and which has begun to take power in Africa, could soon cease to exist, as reported Yevgeny Prigozhin. Although the seriousness of his statement is unknown, the leader of the mercenaries has complained on numerous occasions about the strategy of Russia in the war. It is often said that the regular armed forces they are not giving their men the ammunition they need and sometimes accuses the high command of treason.

“We need shells at the front. The Wagner Group is coming to an end“, assured the Russian war blogger Semyon Pegov. “Wagner, in a short period of time, will cease to exist. We will go down in history,” he said.

Last Thursday, Prigozhin dared to joke about withdrawing his mercenaries from Bakhmut to allow the Ukrainians to show the city to American journalists. Something that, he assured, was a joke.

However, over the course of the week, he expressed concern about a possible counterattack in case the Ukrainian troops rearm. While, on the contrary, his ranks were suffering heavy casualties due to the lack of support from Moscow.

Wagner has been leading the assault from Russia to Bakhmut since last summerin the longest and bloodiest battle of the war, but the Ukrainian forces so far have thwarted their attempts to take full control of the city.
