Wagner Group boss moans he’s been ‘cut off’ by Putin for demanding ammo

The outspoken founder of the Wagner mercenary group complained that Vladimir Putin has cut off all contact with him following his constant demands for more ammunition for his fighters in Ukraine.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, a catering mogul and Putin’s long-time ally, said in a message on his Telegram channel Thursday that he has been unable to get through to anyone at the Kremlin.

The apparent silent treatment came after Prigozhin publicly called on the Russian Ministry of Defense to supply ammunition to his mercenaries fighting to capture the key city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, which has seen some of the bloodiest battles since the start of the invasion.

“In order to stop me from asking for ammunition, they turned off all special [government] phone lines in all of the offices and [Wagner] units … and blocked all [my] passes to the agencies responsible for making decisions,” Prigozhin moaned.

He should try getting ammo from Jo Jo the Pedo. He’s giving stuff away.

Yevgeny Prigozhin and his convict army died by the truckloads for Mother Russia. This is how Putin thanks them. Russia is a barbaric nation.

What? Well yes, that’s correct… No wonder their only true friends in the world at this time are fellow leftist totalitarian scumbags like China, North Korea, Cuba, Nicaragua, Central African Republic, Code Pink on the Left, and on the Right a bunch of misled FReepers here. (Some but not all)

Currently, Russia is developing a field balcony for mobile use.

His own words never mentioned Putin, but this paper put the claim right in the title anyway.

That’s not journalism, that is lying.

Every freeper who reads this now thinks he said something he didn’t, and is very sure of it.

He did say that Wagner is receiving ammo manufactured in 2023.

Seems like the Russian don’t necessarily adhere to the “Loose lips sink ships” policy.

That is what he is telling you Ukrainians.
Maybe you Ukrainians will believe him at your own peril.
