"Where's the ammunition?"
.
The head of the Wagner group Yevgeny Prigozhin denounces in a video the severe shortage of ammunition his militia suffers from, and accuses the Russian military leaders of the deaths of his mercenaries on the battlefield.
In the video on the Telegram channel of his press service, reports Ukrainska Pravda, Prigozhin declares that he suffers "a 70% shortage of ammunition", and rails against the leadership of the regular Russian army, accusing the Chief of Staff of the armed forces, Valery Gerasimov, and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu of the deaths of his men.
In the video, Wagner's boss,
standing over the bodies of dozens of what he claims are his fighters killed
in Russia's war with Ukraine, issues an expletive-laden challenge to Russia's military leadership.
"Shoigu, Gerasimov, where is the ammunition?"
says Prigozhin, calling the Russian defense minister and the head of the Russian armed forces.
"The blood is still fresh," he accuses, pointing to the bodies behind him.
"They came here as volunteers and they're dying so you can sit like fat cats in your fancy offices."
On May 10, one day after the anniversary of the victory over Nazism, Wagner will withdraw from Bakhmut, handing over her positions to the Russian army, Prigozhin announced.
