Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Wagner Group, on Wednesday intensified his angry attacks on the Russian Defense Ministry, charging Kremlin officials of intentionally preventing his fighters from capturing Bakhmut out of jealousy over his military successes.
The authorities’ decision to deny Wagner ammunition, according to the “Putin’s Chef” mercenary boss, has slowed the bloody campaign to capture Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine.
Prigozhin claimed that the objective is clear in Putin’s mind which is that he can’t let PMC Wagner capture Bakhmut.
His remarks, which he made on Wednesday during an interview with several Russian media sources, are the most recent development in an intensifying verbal battle between Prigozhin and the Russian government’s official armed forces.
Prigozhin stated, “Our actions today of course generate envy,” in reference to the Russian military establishment’s enmity.
“So because we have successes, while in other places successes are not what they’d like to be, then instead of—remember what grandpa Lenin said: we all thought we were all meant to live well, but instead, they made it so that everyone lived the same but poorly.”
After the fall of Soledar, a salt mining town close to Bakhmut, Prigozhin claimed that all of Russia “supported” Wagner, contradicting claims made earlier by the Russian Defense Ministry that his mercenaries were responsible for the triumph.
After that victory, according to Prigozhin, the Kremlin changed its position to say that Wagner should never capture Bakhmut.

He and his guys should pack it in and find a beach, this doesn’t end well for them otherwise.
“the most recent development in an intensifying verbal battle between Prigozhin and the Russian government’s official armed forces.”
LOL let them fight amongst themselves
keep it up prigozhin, you are being belittled, putin takes you for granted and doesn’t appreciate you
Success has a thousand fathers; failure is an orphan.
Both Putin and Zelensyy are both happy to see both the Ukraine and Wagner bleed out at Bakhmut.
Wanna bet Prigozhin will find himself with a terminal case of window cancer before Putin’s upcoming Red Square “victory parade” on May 9th?

Yes in sunny Crimea there is a nearby beach were it still will not end well for them.
WOW
do you think putin would be that brazen?
it might backfire on him...
You don’t want to capture it. Not as long as the idiotic Ukes keep flooding men into the artillery shooting gallery. Better to keep it as a roach motel where they check in but don’t check out.
This is like the civil war. Taking the city is less important than how many enemy you kill while they defend it. Tie goes to the country with more soldiers. That’s Russia.
Well Putin may want to spin it as a civil war, but I doubt Ukraine would see it that way. I don’t think that would work.

emmm hmmm, lots a lots of poor young Ukes sacrificed to pervert Zelenski and Biden, how sad.
