Prigozhin commented on the situation in the Artyomovsk area.

The head of the Wagner private military company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said the lack of ammunition allocated to his team was only 10% of the requested amount. He stressed that PMC fighters continue to hold positions in Bakhmut, considering this to be critical, otherwise the Armed Forces of Ukraine will break into Rostov.

Prigozhin accused a narrow group of people of treason and the destruction of the Russian people. He expressed confidence that military counterintelligence would determine the names of these individuals. Now the main task is to provide PMC units with ammunition that are in warehouses.

He also noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have stepped up in the Bakhmut direction and may launch a counteroffensive in the near future. The head of the PMC is concerned that some units are retreating, leaving their positions and exposing the front. Prigozhin expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the Russian army and the Ministry of Defense, accusing them of intrigues. According to him, if the PMCs had received all the requested resources, they would have controlled Slavyansk, Ugledar and Kramatorsk for a long time.

“Today, one of the units of the Ministry of Defense fled from the flanks, abandoning their positions and exposing a front almost 2 km wide .... We have intrigues all the time. We have a Ministry of Intrigue instead of the Ministry of Defense. So the army is running. If PMCs got everything they asked for, they would have been sitting behind Slavyansk, Vugledar, Kramatorsk for a long time. ”- said Prigogine

So far, no official comments have been made regarding Prigozhin's statement, however, the accusations in this regard are very serious, while Prigozhin did not provide any evidence for his words.
