Now Russian mercenary boss accuses regular army of leaving Bakhmut's flanks exposed

According to Reuters founder of Wagner private mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin, who has repeatedly accused Russia's top military brass of not doing enough to back his men, asked the defence ministry to do all it could to protect Bakhmut's flanks after what he alleged was a withdrawal.

"Unfortunately, units of the Russian Defence Ministry have withdrawn up to 570 metres to the north of Bakhmut, exposing our flanks,"

 Prigozhin said in a voice message.

"I am appealing to the top leadership of the Ministry of Defence - publicly - because my letters are not being read," 

Prigozhin said.

Wagner forces have been spearheading the assault on Bakhmut, one of the bloodiest and longest battles of the war, you know, something Moscow calls "a special military operation," with some support from the regular army in recent months.

Основатель ЧВК Вагнера Евгений Пригожин записал видео к 9 мая — про «победу дедов» и какого-то «счастливого дедушку», который может оказаться «законченным мудаком» Попробуйте угадать, кого он имел в виду. Вот главное из этого видео:  Пригожин рассказал о положении на фронте в Украине в видеозаписи к 9 Мая. 

Бизнесмен, шеф-повар Путина заявил, что Минобороны РФ не выделило группировке необходимые боеприпасы, при этом ЧВК якобы угрожают наказанием, если наемники оставят позиции. Пригожин также заявил, что 9 Мая — это День Победы «наших дедов», и упомянул некоего «счастливого дедушку», от которого зависит будущее России — и который 

«думает, что ему хорошо»,
