Russian Mercenary Leader Criticizes Putin and Lack of Ammunition in Ukraine Conflict

• The leader of the Russian mercenary group Wagner, Prigozhin, has criticized the Kremlin and Russian military for keeping the group short of ammunition in the Ukraine conflict.
• Prigozhin has previously criticized Shogun, the defense minister, and Garasimov, the chief of the general staff, for wanting Wagner to lose.
• Prigozhin has a personal friendship with Putin, going back to when he was Putin's caterer and received contracts for Russian schools and military.
• Prigozhin's criticism of Putin may have overstepped the mark, as he is playing politics inside the Kremlin.
• The Ukrainian military is holding on to a small portion of the town of Bachmut, with a local offensive last night reportedly causing heavy losses for the Russian 72nd Brigade and exposing Wagner.
• The road to Costa anti-nifica is the Ukrainians' way of escape, and as long as it stays open, they can still claim to be fighting in Bachmut.
• The Wagner group is a mercenary organization, and the UK is set to brand them as a terrorist organization.
• This move will not have a significant impact beyond closing a legal loophole and preventing Prigozhin from suing for defamation.
• Prigozhin's previous attempts to sue Elliot Higgins of Bellingcat were an attempt to use costly legal cases to intimidate people.
• If Wagner is labeled as a terrorist organization, they will not be able to put any money through London or work with anyone in London.
• The situation in Bachmut is confusing, with different groups blaming each other for problems.
• The Ukrainians have all but lost Bachmut, but until they lose the road to Costa anti-nifica, they can still claim to be fighting.
