Prigozhin, the boss of the Wagner mercenaries, issued an angry ** against the leaders of the Russian Defense Ministry, Shoigu and Gerasimov, in an open letter. He used a lot of profanity that was banned on the internet, insulted their mothers, and questioned why they didn't give Wagner enough ammunition. He also announced that he would withdraw Wagner's soldiers from Mutt on May 10.
* Mutter was a target that Putin wanted to capture before Victory Day, but that plan fell through when the Kremlin was attacked by drones. The drone attack has caused serious damage to Russia's national prestige, and even if it can take **Mutter, it will not be able to make up for this shame.
Prigozhin chose to withdraw **Mutter on the second day of Victory Day, which he considered the greatest loyalty to Russia, because he did not abandon **Mutter before Victory Day, turning the Russian holiday into a tragedy. If an elite unit like Wagner fails, the rest of the Russian army will be even more vulnerable, which is like tearing down the pillars of a house. However, the retreat that Prigozhin said was not so easy, because he knew that the Ukrainian army had begun to counterattack, and his retreat may be awkward with the Russian Ministry of Defense, or it may be forced away by the Ukrainian army, and in the remaining days, the battle situation may change a lot.
There are rumors on the Internet that Shoigu replied to Prigozhin's request about Wagner's lack of ammunition: "What ammunition do you lack?Are you eating ammo?"This is an insult to the main frontline force like Wagner, but there is some truth in this, because Wagner has always received much more ** and ammunition supplies than the Russian army, are you still not satisfied?Isn't it okay to give it to you?
This is Prigozhin's last resort to ask the Russian Ministry of Defense for help, but whether he can withdraw the mercenaries is not certain, and it may even be a ploy of his. Of course, in order to prevent the collapse of the whole line from the defeat of **Mutt, the Russian Ministry of Defense may really have to meet Prigozhin's requirements this time, at least partially, otherwise once Wagner leaves **Mutt, the Ukrainian army will come like a tide, and the remaining Russian army, whether it is combat effectiveness or morale, will have no effect.
