MADRID, 6 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeni Prigozhin, a key ally of the Kremlin on the Ukrainian combat front, has denounced that the Russian government continues without sending the munitions theoretically promised to its mercenaries and speculates on the possible reasons: “ordinary bureaucracy or betrayal” .
Prigozhin already accused Moscow in February of not supplying ammunition to Wagner’s mercenaries, with direct criticism of the military leadership in which he was already waving accusations of “treason”. After public reproaches, he announced that the issue had been resolved.
However, despite the orders given on February 23, “most of the ammunition has not been sent,” Prigozhin said in a statement released by his company’s communication service on Telegram, in which he did not alluded to any authority or institution in particular.
Last week the oligarch visited Bakhmut, a town in eastern Ukraine besieged by forces loyal to the Kremlin and where the role of the Wagner Group mercenaries would be key, many of whom were former prisoners released directly to join the fighting.
