Lack of ammunition, Wagner chief castigates Russian military leadership
[GEO.TV] Russian private military group's chief criticised Russian military decision-makers for not sending enough arms and support to the battlefield, blaming the defence chiefs for the thousands of casualties as a result.In a video that was posted on Thursday on Telegram, Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said in Russian: "We are lacking 70% of the needed ammunition!" The video was said to have been from the front lines of the battlefield where, according to the chief, the bodies of the mercenaries were lying. Prigozhin in the video claimed that they had these casualties in just one day of fighting. The chief can be seen shouting angrily saying: "Shoigu, Gerasimov, where ... is the ammunition?," calling out Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and chief of the Russian armed forces Gen. Valery Gerasimov. Pointing bodies behind him, he said: "The blood is still fresh. They came here as volunteers and are dying so you can sit like fat cats in your luxury offices."
