Lack Of Supplies and Weapons From Moscow - Ukraine war: Russia's Wagner boss suggests 'betrayal' in Bakhmut battle

 Ukraine war: Russia's Wagner boss suggests 'betrayal' in Bakhmut battle

The head of Russia's Wagner private army has said it is not getting the ammunition it needs from Moscow, as it seeks to gain control of Bakhmut.

Russian troops - from Wagner and regular Russian forces - are trying to seize the eastern city from Ukraine.

But Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin has complained of a lack of ammunition, saying it could be "ordinary bureaucracy or a betrayal".

Relations between Wagner and Moscow seem increasingly tense.

The Wagner group has tens of thousands of troops in Ukraine - some recruited directly from Russian prisons - and has become a key part of Moscow's invasion.

In a post on Sunday, Mr Prigozhin said documents had been signed on 22 February, with ammunition expected to be sent to Bakhmut the next day.

But most had not been shipped, he said, before suggesting it could be deliberate.

Separately, in a video uploaded on Saturday - but seemingly filmed in February - Mr Prigozhin said his men feared that they were being "set up" as scapegoats in case Russia lost its war in Ukraine.

"If we step back, we will go down in history as the people who took the main step to lose the war," he said.

"And this is precisely the problem with the shell hunger [ammunition shortage]. This is not my opinion, but that of ordinary fighters...

"What if they [the Russian authorities] want to set us up, saying that we are scoundrels - and that's why they are not giving us ammunition, not giving us weapons, and not letting us replenish our personnel, including [recruiting] prisoners?"

In Saturday's video, Mr Prigozhin said Russia's front line would collapse without his troops.


"If Wagner PMC [private military company] were to now retreat from Bakhmut, then the entire front - which PMC Wagner today is cementing - would crumble."

He suggested Wagner fighters were taking on the "entire Ukrainian army ... destroying it" and depriving it of the chance to concentrate on other parts of the front.

While the private army was "moving forward", the Russian military was being forced to "catch up in order to save face", he implied.

 Parents withdraw four-year-old son from Church of England school's World Book Day in row over 'confusing and harmful gender identity lessons in text selected for his class'

  • Stephen and Joanne Evans removed their son, aged 4, from St Mary's Church of England Primary School in Essex for day over the text used for World Book Day 
  • The couple claim My Shadow is Pink promotes the idea of inner gender identity 
  • They have written to Church of England's Chief Education Officer over concerns

    Stephen and Joanne Evans claim the book, My Shadow is Pink, promotes the idea of an inner gender identity and believe it might lead children to think they or others have been born into the wrong body.

Russian and Ukrainian forces are fighting in the streets of Bakhmut - but Russia does not control the eastern city, its deputy mayor has said.

 Bakhmut: Fighting in the street but Russia not in control - deputy mayor

Russian and Ukrainian forces are fighting in the streets of Bakhmut - but Russia does not control the eastern city, its deputy mayor has said.

Oleksandr Marchenko also told the BBC the remaining 4,000 civilians are living in shelters without access to gas, electricity or water.

Mr Marchenko said "not a single building" had remained untouched and that the city is "almost destroyed".

Bakhmut has seen months of fighting, as Russia tries to take charge.

"There is fighting near the city and there are also street fights," Mr Marchenko said.

Taking the city would be a rare battlefield success in recent months for Russia. But despite that, the city's strategic value has been questioned.

Some experts say any Russian victory could be pyrrhic - that is, not worth the cost.

Thousands of Russian troops have died trying to take Bakhmut, which had a pre-war population of around 75,000. Ukrainian commanders estimate that Russia has lost seven times as many soldiers as they have.

On Saturday, UK military intelligence said Russian advances in the northern suburbs had left the Ukraine-held sections vulnerable to Russian attacks on three sides.

Mr Marchenko accused the Russians of having "no goal" to save the city and that it wanted to commit "genocide of the Ukrainian people".

"Currently there is no communication in the city so the city is cut out, the bridges are destroyed and the tactics the Russians are using is the tactic of parched land," Mr Marchenko told the Today programme.

The fall of Bakhmut has long been predicted, but for more than six months it hasn't happened. So any reports of potential Ukrainian withdrawal should be treated with caution.

It is hard to know what is going on without independent sources. Both sides have a greater incentive to confuse their enemy than provide accurate information.

But it may be that Ukrainian commanders are beginning to calculate that the cost of defending Bakhmut - in terms of blood and treasure - is now too great, despite the grievous losses being inflicted on Russian troops.

And if so, then they might want what Western analysts call "a controlled fighting withdrawal" to protect the remaining Ukrainian forces so they can be redeployed.

But any withdrawal may be hard fought and could take some time.

Earlier this week, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the situation in the area was becoming "more and more difficult" - although the Ukrainian military said it had repelled numerous attacks since Friday.

"I believe we shouldn't give any inch of our land to the enemy," Mr Marchenko said. "We should protect our land, we should protect our people and we should protect the businesses that are on this land."

The city was "almost destroyed", with bridges ruined and communication cut off, Mr Marchenko added.

"They want to destroy Bakhmut, they want to destroy the city like they did with Mariupol and Popasna," he said, referring to two cities in the east of Ukraine now under Russian control.

The Russian military laid siege to the south-eastern port city of Mariupol at the outset of the invasion and took control after three months of artillery bombardment that killed thousands.

'Putin has STOLEN our Ukrainian children': Distraught parents tell how THOUSANDS of youngsters never return

 'Putin has STOLEN our Ukrainian children': Distraught parents tell how THOUSANDS of youngsters never returned from 'summer camps' they went to after being rounded up by Russian troops in 'campaign' likened to ISIS abduction of Yazidi girls

  • Ukraine says it has confirmed that more than 16,000 children have been taken
  • Parents have being tricked into allowing their children to attend 'summer camps'

  • Ukrainian parents have shared their heartbreak at not knowing where their children are or if they will ever see them again after Russian forces kidnapped thousands of youngsters and transported them to 're-education camps' in Russia - in a policy likened to abductions carried out by terror group ISIS.

    study by Yale University last month found more than 6,000 children aged between four months and 17 years have been taken to 43 camps across Russia, including in Moscow-annexed Crimea and Siberia, for 'pro-Russia patriotic and military-related education'. It is thought the true number is far higher.

    Russia has tried to cast the relocation of the children as saving orphans or bringing them to camps for medical care - but Ukrainians say children are either being abducted outright or their parents are pressured or tricked into giving them up.

    Songs sung by generations of Girl Guides are being dropped or having their lyrics altered in the latest example of wokery.
  • The changes are detailed in a blog on the movement’s official website, saying that while songs were a ‘big part’ of its tradition some could have ‘references that have been hurtful to people’.

    In these cases, the blog suggested, ‘there might need to be adaptations so everyone can join in’ and it gave examples of making them ‘inclusive for everyone’.
