Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner mercenary group that leads the ongoing assault on Bakhmut, on Tuesday accused the Russian army of fleeing its positions around the city.
"Today one of the units of the Defense Ministry fled from one of our flanks ... exposing the front," said Prigozhin.
Prigozhin, popularly known as Putin's chef because of the lucrative catering contracts he once held with the Kremlin, accused the Russian Defense Ministry of "scheming all the time" instead of fighting.
Prigozhin said soldiers were abandoning their positions because of the "stupidity" of Russian army commanders, who he said were giving "criminal orders."
"Soldiers should not die because of the absolute stupidity of their leadership," Prigozhin said, repeating his threat that Wagner would withdraw from the frontline city if Russia does not supply more ammunition soon.

Prigo has been talking a lot lately. Who is his audience?
At some point, Putin is going to take it personally.
“Prigozhin, popularly known as Putin’s chef because of the lucrative catering contracts he once held with the Kremlin, accused the Russian Defense Ministry of “scheming all the time” instead of fighting.”
LOL
May putin/russia’s deterioration continue unabated
Artemivsk. Liberated Bakhmut is now called Artemivsk
“The US has taken 240 months to eventually lose in spectacular fashion to a bunch of stone age savages in pick up trucks.”
See how it works?

Like most autocrats, Putin purged his officer corps for fear of being overthrown and failed to fund his defense forces resulting in poor performance of men and machines. Now this result is becoming clearer to all each day.
They fled because the RGF wants the PMC wiped out.
At the start of the “Special Military Operation” more than a year ago, the Ukrainian Army outnumbered the Russians by a factor of three. Even with their advantage in numbers, the Ukrainian defenses failed to stop the numerically inferior Russian force and failed to expel the Russians from the Luhansk and Donetsk territories.
We now are being enticed to believe that Ukraine, with a numerically inferior force compared to Russia’s current troop deployment, is going to mount an offensive, despite a severe lack of tanks, armored vehicles, mobile artillery and air cover, that will drive the Russians from fortifications erected during the last six months.
Ukrainian officials persist in making wild claims about Russian defeats, low morale and catastrophic casualties. There is a very simple test you can do to evaluate the Ukrainian claim about Russia’s losses — find the social media and count the photos and videos. If Russia had suffered the number of killed and wounded cited by Ukrainian and Western officials and pundits, then it would be impossible to hide those photos and videos. Social media and smart phones are ubiquitous and grieving wives, girl friends, parents and friends are not easy to corral.
Images and videos like the following are widely available on Ukrainian Telegram channels. The opposite is true when it comes to finding comparable material on Russian channels. There are a few photos of newly dug graves in a Russian military cemetery, but nothing like the quantity of images recording Ukraine losses.

Just for the sake of historical accuracy, The same Afghans defeated the Russian Army in half the time.
Can’t be true. All of the pro-Russians here assure us that the Russians never have any setbacks. It must be some brilliant strategy.
Most of the Russian commanders have pivoted from worrying about the Ukraine War. They can see what is coming.
Wagner, the Chechens, Rosgvardia, Spetznatz, and the regular army are all stockpiling weapons. Once Putin goes its going to be a five way fight within Russia for who takes over.
Bingo.
