Prigozhin said, “I was promised to get as much ammunition and weapons as we need to continue the fight.”
The leader of the “Wagner” group had “complained” that he had not received any additional ammunition from Moscow, before the expected withdrawal of his forces from Bakhmut due to heavy losses and insufficient supplies.
“Until today, no one has come to provide us with the necessary ammunition … to supply them in the necessary size. There can be no attack without destroying the enemy’s weapons … without defeating enemy (combat) systems,” Prigozhin added in an audio message on his media service channel on Telegram. .
He stressed that the “Wagner” forces lacked ammunition and could no longer continue their attacks near the city, besieged by the Russians for ten months.
And these are his statements before announcing on Sunday that he had received a promise to obtain all the necessary supplies and ammunition.
Wagner’s forces captured 95% of Bakhmut, he said, a town in eastern Ukraine that had a population of more than 70,000 before the war.
