Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not comment on the accusations by businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin against Russian Defense Ministry officials. The President’s press secretary recommended that relevant questions be directed to the Department of Defense.
– Indeed, the media publishes an exchange of various statements. But this is a topic that is directly related to the conduct of the NMD, so I leave it to the Ministry of Defense and recommend that you contact them,” Peskov told reporters.
The founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has already strongly criticized the Russian Ministry of Defense. The businessman pointed out that an attempt is underway to destroy a private military company. He pointed out that the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and the Russian Minister of Defense would have given the order to block the supply of shells to the Wagner group. In this regard, more Russian servicemen are dying in the NVO zone, the businessman stressed.
The ministry responded that all statements allegedly made on behalf of the assault units about the lack of ammunition are absolutely false. Prigogine called this information “spitting on the side of the PMCs and an attempt to hide their crimes from the fighters”.
