Wagner PMC’s Prigozhin has lost it. Hard not to interpret this as a declaration of war against Russia’s Defence Minister Shoigu and Armed Forces Chief Gerasimov. Yesterday, Wind of Change mentioned that FSB resources are being diverted to prevent a coup. pic.twitter.com/MvMs3el5YG

Chief Wagner is furious with the Russian generals and threatens to withdraw Bakhmut.
In a video broadcast, Evgheni Prigojin swears at the minister of defense and the head of the armed forces, even while he is standing on a field full of corpses, in the dark.
Prigozhin recorded a video full of insults in which he personally blames the top Russian defense chiefs for the losses suffered by Russian fighters in Ukraine, writes The Guardian.
In a separate message, Prigozhin also said that Wagner’s troops will leave the Ukrainian city of Bahmut in eastern Ukraine next week.
“These are the Wagner boys who died today. Their blood is still fresh. They came here as volunteers and die, so that you can sit like fat cats in the heat in your luxury offices””, says Prigozhin as he mourns his mercenaries.
“Fuck. They are sons and fathers. And the bastards who didn’t supply us with ammo will go to hell. Their fleshy organs will be eaten. We’re running low on ammunition. 70%”.
Prigozhin continues to shout: “Shoigu, Gerasimov, where the hell is the ammunition? You bastard, you’re sitting there in your expensive clubs. All your kids are recording videos on YouTube.” says Prigozhin, referring to Shoigu’s son-in-law, Alexey Stolyarov, a popular fitness blogger.
“I am withdrawing the Wagner units from Bakhmut because, in the absence of ammunition, they are destined to perish senselessly“, says Prigozhin in a video message addressed to Putin and the Ministry of Defense.
Prigozhin previously clashed with the Russian leadership over military tactics, accusing the country’s military leaders of “high treason” for not providing ammunition to his group of mercenaries recruited from Russian prisons.
A new video by Prigozhin has just emerged on the Internet. It’s pretty long, so here’s the summary of what he’s saying: pic.twitter.com/V4EdEmYcGI
