[１日 ロイター] -Evgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Russian private military company Wagner, on Monday renewed his appeal to the Russian Ministry of Defense to increase the supply of ammunition to Wagner fighters fighting in the battleground of Bakhmut in the eastern Donetsk region.

In a video posted on his Telegram channel, Prigozin said the attack would require at least 300 tons of shells a day, but “we are not given even a third of that.”

Prigozhin shot the video in Soledar, Donetsk province, northeast of Bakhmut. In another video shot in Soledar, he noted that the day marked the anniversary of Wagner’s founding, and said that if Wagner were to disappear, “it will not come from the Ukrainian military or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), but from domestic ‘bastards’.” “Bureaucrats,” he said.

The Russian Defense Ministry has yet to respond to Prigozhin’s remarks.

Prigozhin has previously criticized Russian military operations in Ukraine and the lack of support for Wagner fighters.
