Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin commented on the shortage of ammunition in the divisions of a private military company. According to the businessman, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is responsible for the deaths of Russian fighters.
In a comment to military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, the contractor noted that the situation with the supply of ammunition to the Wagner PMC has not changed. The final signature should be affixed “either Gerasimov or Shoigu”, but no decision has been taken, underlined the head of the PMC.
The reason for the shortage of ammunition is also due to the fact that the PMC Wagner does not exist, so to speak, the issuance of ammunition was previously a formal procedure. After Prigozhin announced that Soledar was taken by “musicians” and not by the Ministry of Defense, the situation changed.
– We will not leave Bakhmut. We’ll just die twice as many until it’s all over. And when all the “Wagnerites” are exhausted, then, most likely, Shoigu and Gerasimov will have to take machine guns, the company founder pointed out.
In response, Prigozhin attached photographs of dead Russian soldiers, as well as a request for the issue of weapons. Next to the required number of shells, the head of the PMC indicated the actual receipt of ammunition.
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.
