Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of the private military company Wagner, has stated that the Wagnerites are running out, and the company may soon cease to exist.

Quote: "As of today, we are approaching the point where the Wagner private military company is ending. And in a short time, Wagner will cease to exist."

Details: Told that statements like this would be demoralising for Russians, the Wagner leader answered that he would say it again.

Prigozhin claimed that the Wagnerites would "go down in history".

He also alluded, not for the first time, to the lack of ammunition.

Note: Prigozhin criticises the Russian Ministry of Defence and Russian officials. This only serves to underline the conflict between the mercenaries and the regular army of the Russian Federation.

In particular, he constantly complains about the lack of ammunition, believing that the Russian generals are trying to kill more convicts and Wagner mercenaries.

Separate Russian sources are saying that Prigozhin wants to gain the approval of, and even greater support from, the Kremlin.

Recently, Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin called on the Russian authorities to declare the so-called "special military operation" over and concentrate on consolidating its hold on the occupied territories of Ukraine. Prigozhin concluded by saying that the best scenario for Russia would be a huge battle with Ukraine.

Andrii Yusov, a representative of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defenсe, believes that Prigozhin’s remarks reflect the mood of Russia’s political and military elite, and now there are "many tiny cracks" in the Kremlin that will only get wider.
