Russia's most powerful mercenary said on Sunday that his Wagner fighters would not sign any contract with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, publicly refusing an attempt by the defence ministry to bring his fighting force under its sway.

The defence ministry on Saturday said Shoigu had ordered all "volunteer detachments" to sign contracts with his ministry by the end of the month, a step it said would increase the effectiveness of the Russian army.
Though the ministry did not mention Wagner in its public statement, the Russian media reported that it was an attempt by Shoigu to bring the mercenaries to heel.
"Wagner will not sign any contracts with Shoigu," Prigozhin said in response to a request for comment on the matter. The order, he said, did not apply to Wagner.
The defence ministry did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.

"Shoigu cannot properly manage military formations," Prigozhin said, adding that Wagner coordinated its actions in Ukraine with General Sergei Surovikin, nicknamed "General Armageddon" by the Russian media.
The defence ministry said that in the interests of increasing the effectiveness of "volunteer detachments", all such units - or their men - would have to sign a contract with the defence ministry by July 1.

Wagner has served it’s purpose. Time for a new, cheaper group. Three Dog Night? The Knickerbockers? Little Anthony and the Imperials?
Enough with the nuts and crooks. Send in some real soldiers!

Russia’s Potemkin army running like rabbits again.
wrong.. The Bakhmut area captured alone is substantial in size. You spew bull$hit as bad as the other side which lowers your credibility. We will see by Fall of this year what the lines look like. Im sure it will change back and forth and likely end up close to what it is now.
Tell your Putin to say goodbye to his land bridge.
This guy knows he is a dead man walking. He can’t go to the west, where he would be arrested. He can’t stay in Russia because they would kill him. And he can’t go to the ME or Africa, because we would kill him.
Sucks to be him. Those walls must be getting a little tight as they close in on him.

BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE LIES marcus the maximus......
The Russians couldn't care less. What the Russians care about is killing Ukrainian invaders and destroying their tanks.
77 of the 300 tanks that were rounded up Ukraine for this bloodbath have already been destroyed.
Prigozhin is pushing his luck. He may come to regret that later on after his services are no longer needed.
Russians now mad at Prigo for leaving Bakhmut and forcing Putin to send reserves to Bakhmut to replace Wagner instead of sending those reserves to Zaporizhia. Prigo has to sign the contract by July 1.
Yeah, the drunks!
Are you giving Prighozin his talking points Marcus?
Lol
Sounds like u wrote em
He should get a polonium tuna sandwich detector
Putins love for him has limits id imagine
Ukrainians are not invaders in their own country. It’s funny that you, an avid supporter of Russian invaders, would call them that.
too bad putin is an evil man. he doesn’t know how to appreciate help. I assume he just ‘expects’ it
