The withdrawal of the Wagner mercenary group from the Bachmut front, announced for Wednesday, will probably be postponed by a few days. Even as company director Yevgeny Prigozhin complained that only ten percent of the much-demanded ammunition had been accepted. However, in a Telegram video, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin’s former cook once again cursed the Russian military.
“Today one of the Defense Ministry units fled from one of our flanks,” Prigozhin said Tuesday as President Putin inspected the military parade in Moscow commemorating the victory over Nazi Germany (pictured below). As a result, a stretch of almost two kilometers had become completely unsecured, the mercenary denounced.
“Why can’t the state defend the country?”
Prigozhin also sharply questioned the Russian state’s ability to defend the country as Ukraine prepared for a spring offensive. “Why is the state unable to defend its country?” asked Prigozhinin in the video published online by the Telegram service, adding that Ukraine “successfully” attacked Russian border regions. “Victory Day is the Victory Day of our grandfathers. We didn’t deserve this victory an inch,” Prigozhin stressed, looking at the event.
Conflict with the military leadership
Russian soldiers “flee” from the army because the Defense Ministry “plans instead of fighting all the time”. According to him, the Russian military leadership wants to fool Putin. In addition, the ammunition promised by the Russian Ministry of Defense for the front in eastern Ukraine has not yet been received.
The 61-year-old complained that only half of the requested positions were approved and only a fraction of the amount of ammunition requested. The open conflict with the military leadership continues.
