As the Censor informs.No, this is stated in his statement posted in the Telegram
Kadyrov said: “I appeal to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces and founder of the Wagner PMC.
I, like everyone who is not indifferent to the fate of our country, am not happy to hear the latest statements of Yevgeny Viktorovich and doubly unpleasant that the leadership of the Russian Defense Ministry does not comment or does not meet with the leadership of PMC Wagner to make any decision or explanation. After all, Prigozhin deserves respect for the invaluable contribution of the wagnerists to the liberation of the cities of Donbass. If there is a shortage, then it is necessary to explain, show, based on which the commanders will at least adjust the further tactics of Wagner units, without relying on artillery.
I recall the experience of Chechen units in Mariupol. When we needed five tanks from the Ministry of Defense to support the infantry, we were able to allocate only one, the combat crew of which left the car in the first battle. The tankers then had to be calmed down, set up for battle and re-put in a combat vehicle so that they would cover at least one position of the Azov Satanists with volleys. There were also problems with other equipment. Since the beginning of our work, we have not been able to replace 30 artillery pieces. I personally called Moscow, talked with the commanders, commanders, and superiors. The problem was solved in a month. Yes, it didn’t work out on the first call. But our units did not record videos, did not give a pleasant information guide to the enemy.
...By the way, to remove the bodies of dead comrades-in-arms for the sake of public outcry... wrong. Let’s never do that.
In the area of responsibility, for example, APTA Alaudinov, my dear brother, commander of the special forces “Akhmat”, deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the Russian armed forces, more than a hundred kilometers of the line of contact with the enemy. Not a day goes by that he doesn’t have any problems. But Apti Aronovich never announced this via the internet, but only through internal communication with the management. I would like to note that the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, with rare exceptions, have always met Chechen units halfway and helped them. And misunderstandings are always present in ordinary peaceful life, not to mention war, where there is always not enough ammunition! I very much hope that Sergey Kuzhugetovich will listen to my call and allow the General Staff to go to the site and sort it out. This is the only and soldier-like correct way out of the situation.
Read on “ Censor.No”: on May 10, PMC Wagner leaves Bakhmut and transfers positions to units of the Russian Defense Ministry, - Prigozhin. Video
Chechen units fought side by side with the wagnerists in the most difficult areas in Popasna, Severodonetsk, Lisichansk and other settlements of the Donbass. Together they fulfilled their sacred duty to the motherland without dividing them by nationality or faith. The interests of the state and the security of the country should come first. And when it ends, I would like all of us, every fighter, every commander, every Russian patriot, to be the winners. Together.
So, if the older brother Prigozhin and Wagner leave, the General Staff will lose an experienced combat unit, and his younger brother Kadyrov and Akhmat will take his place in Artemivsk. If the scenario is still like this, then our fighters are already ready to move out and occupy the city. It’s only a matter of hours. But I would like us to take the remaining two kilometers of the city not at the cost of the soldiers ‘ lives, but as a result of mutual understanding, support, determination of the command and soldiers to fulfill the order of the Supreme Commander-in-chief of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.”

The founder of the PMC “Wagner” Evgeny Prigozhin published a video in which he showed the corpses of “wagnerists” and scolded the Russian military leadership for lack of ammunition.
This is reported by the Censor.No with reference to the Telegram channel of Prigozhin’s press service.
In the video, Prigozhin stands near the corpses of “wagnerists” who allegedly died on May 4 in the war in Ukraine.

He uses obscene language to appeal to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces Valery Gerasimov, accusing the military leadership of the deaths of “wagnerists” and the lack of ammunition. Prigozhin claims that”the shortage of ammunition is 70%.”

Think about the fact that if you have warehouses from shells, then you have the right to do so. There are basic calculations - if you give the norm of ammunition, they [dead] are five times less. They came here as volunteers and are dying for you to fatten up in their mahogany cabinets. Keep this in mind, “ Prigozhin said (obscene language is omitted).

Many armies use Leopards, and it is estimated that there are about 2,000 Leopard 2 tanks distributed throughout Europe at various levels of preparedness. In comparison to the small Leopard donations made by the end of 2022, the 100 donated Leopard 2 tanks are an impressive number. However, Ukraine claims that it will require 200 to 300 Leopards to defend against Russia’s upcoming offensive. As we can see, the Leopards are slowly but surely increasingly deployed on the Ukrainian front in large quantities. And that is one of the decisive factors that will defeat the Russian army. Thank you, hopefully useful!
Russia is laughing at the threats of counter attack.

I officially inform you that the units of the Defense Forces do not fire in places where there are civilians. Most likely, the terrorists are preparing a provocation with the shelling of objects where women and children are located.

Russia’s Wagner threatens to leave Bakhmut, Ukraine says mercenaries reinforcing
By Felix Light and Caleb Davis
May 5, 20233:22 PM EDT
[SUMMARY]
-Wagner chief says losses are ‘increasing exponentially’
-Blames lack of ammunition, says will pull back on May 10
-Ukraine prepares counter-offensive
-Drone hits oil refinery in southern Russia for second time
May 5 (Reuters) - Russia’s main mercenary group announced plans on Friday to withdraw from the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, but Ukraine said the fighters were reinforcing positions to try to seize it before Russia marks World War Two Victory Day next week.
Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin said his men had been starved of ammunition and would expect the army to take their place in Bakhmut next Wednesday, jeopardising what has long been Russia’s main target in its attempt to carve up its neighbour.
“My lads will not suffer useless and unjustified losses in Bakhmut without ammunition,” Prigozhin said in a video accompanying a written withdrawal announcement addressed to military leaders including President Vladimir Putin.
The announcement said “bureaucrats” had held back supplies despite knowing that Wagner’s target date to capture the city was May 9, the day of the World War Two commemoration.
“If, because of your petty jealousy, you do not want to give the Russian people the victory of taking Bakhmut, that’s your problem,” Prigozhin added in the video.
State-owned RIA news agency later reported that Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu had instructed one of his deputy ministers to ensure troops had all the weapons they needed.
The battle for Bakhmut, which Russia sees as a stepping stone to other cities in Ukraine’s Donbas region still beyond its control, has been the most intense of the conflict, costing thousands of lives on both sides in months of grinding warfare.
CLINGING ON
Ukrainian troops have been pushed back in recent weeks but have clung on in the city to inflict as many Russian losses as possible ahead of Kyiv’s planned big push against the invading forces along the 1,000 km (620 mile) front line.
Ukraine’s Armed Forces General Staff said in an evening report that Ukrainian forces repelled more than 30 attacks on the main sectors of the front line on Friday, with Bakhmut and Maryinka to the south seeing the heaviest fighting.
Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of Donetsk region, said on the Telegram messaging app that Russian missiles had struck a heavy machinery manufacturing plant in the town of Kramatorsk and a home furnishing factory in the town of Sloviansk. He said there were no injuries in either attack.
Both towns are west of the front in and around Bakhmut.
Reuters pictures and video from Kramatorsk showed the machinery plant heavily damaged with windows blown out, facades torn off and top floors reduced to a twisted mass of metal and other building materials.
“Because of the lack of ammunition, our losses are increasing exponentially every day,” Prigozhin’s statement said. His fighters would be obliged to hand over their positions in Bakhmut to defence ministry units on May 10 and then withdraw to logistics camps “to lick our wounds”, he added.
SMOKESCREEN?
It was not clear whether Prigozhin, who often makes impulsive comments, would proceed with the withdrawal if his men got more ammunition or if the dispute might be a smokescreen.
A senior Ukrainian official said Russia was bringing Wagner mercenary fighters from along the front line to Bakhmut to capture it by Victory Day.
“We are now seeing them pulling (fighters) from the entire offensive line where the Wagner fighters were, they are pulling (them) to the Bakhmut direction,” Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said on Ukrainian television.
The Kremlin declined to comment on Prigozhin’s statement.
Earlier, Prigozhin was pictured surrounded by corpses he said were his men, shouting abuse at Defence Minister Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov.
Prigozhin said Shoigu and Gerasimov must bear responsibility for “tens of thousands of Wagner dead and injured”.
Prigozhin’s vow to pull out of Bakhmut highlighted the pressure Russian forces are under as Ukraine makes the final preparations for a counter-offensive backed by thousands of Western-donated armoured vehicles and freshly trained troops.
The Russian-installed governor of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, Yevgeny Balitsky, said he had ordered the evacuation of villages close to the front line with Ukrainian forces there, saying that Ukrainian shelling had intensified in recent days.
The Ukrainian counterattack is viewed as likely to take in the Zaporizhzhia region, about 80% of which is held by Moscow.
Some residents left the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson in cars and buses on Friday, and others stocked up on groceries, before the start of an unusually long weekend curfew.
The announcement of the curfew, to last from Friday evening to Monday morning, has prompted speculation in Kherson that the city is about to be used as a launch point for the counter-attack.
Speaking on return from visits to Helsinki and The Hague, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an address he had won “a powerful reinforcement of weapons for our soldiers - on land, in the air and at sea” as a result of talks with allies there.
Meanwhile, the pace of grain shipments from Ukraine under a U.N.-backed initiative has slowed as concerns grow over ships getting stuck if a deal is not renewed later this month, according to sources and data. Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations failed to authorize any new ships on Friday under the deal.
Russia has suffered few direct attacks during the war, but Russian news agencies reported a second drone attack in as many days on its Ilsky oil refinery on Friday, causing a fire but no casualties. It was not immediately clear who launched it.

“Russia is laughing at the threats of counter attack.”
Do you have a link or source for that?
Nonsense
These fools don’t keep up
Wagner chief Pregozhian is fed up fighting with Russian regular army brass
Yesterday he released a video scathing certain Russian generals in front of dead Wagner soldiers
Today he says he’s pulling out 5-10 and asks his positions be filled with Russian regulars who thus far have sat out most of the fight which has been conducted by Wagner and separatists militia along the fronts
That’s it
It’s public video from the main actors
Pregozhian is a civilian who appears to live near the front and is mercurial to say the least
Anyone here can google yesterdays vid but it’s very graphic
This stuff here is just made up propaganda like everything else the uniparty etc do
Lies lies and more lies
