Mercenary chief of the Wagner Group, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, has threatened to keep his men from returning to Ukraine if Moscow continues under the leadership of "clowns," widening the rift that has been growing between his group and military command.
"If the whole chain (of command) is 100% failed and will only be led by clowns who turn people into meat, then we will not participate in it," Prigozhin said during an interview to celebrate his 62nd birthday.
"It has been a tough year," he added, confirming that his men will leave the city of Bakhmut on June 5 after handing it to the Russian army. "Then we’ll see how it goes."
Prigozhin, known as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s chef or more recently calling himself a "butcher," clarified that he wanted a "section of the front where we can fight independently without anyone’s help."
"We always do everything without help," he said. His "orchestra" (a nickname for the Wagner fighters) will remain in field camps in the Donbas region even after withdrawing from Bakhmut.
