Prigozhin threatens to pull Wagner out of Bakhmut by 10 May over ammunition
Reportedon one origin only: 0 distinct origins, 0 tied to no party.
Prigozhin said Wagner would leave Bakhmut and expected regular army units to take over by 10 May, accusing the defence ministry of withholding ammunition and saying his men would not suffer useless losses without it. Ukraine's military said Wagner was instead reinforcing its positions, possibly to take the city before Russia's 9 May Victory Day, and spokesman Serhii Cherevatyi disputed the shortage claim. The withdrawal did not take place.
