Units of the private military company (PMC) “Wagner” may leave the territory of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) due to a serious shortage of ammunition. Such a development of events during a conversation with military commander Semyon Pegov was admitted by the founder and head of the PMC Evgeny Prigozhin.
The businessman noted that he had already sent an appeal to the Ministry of Defense on the need to urgently decide whether to continue to occupy the city with PMC fighters. Prigozhin also asked the department to eliminate the “shellfish hunger” that his wards faced.
“We will be in Bakhmut as long as we have the last cartridge, but there are few of these cartridges left – not for weeks, but for days. And if the shortage of ammunition is not replenished, then we will be forced to leave from organized way or stay to die. Most likely, we will be forced to withdraw some of the units from this territory, ”summarized the entrepreneur.
In the same interview, Prigozhin announced that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) were ready to launch a counteroffensive. According to the founder of the PMC, it will be in place by May 15.
