He says the reason is that they lack ammunition and places the blame on the Russian Ministry of Defence. It appears on Telegram. He has posted a video where he stands in front of many dead Wagner soldiers, he says himself. This claims the video has not been verified. Wagner has had colossal losses, says the leader. The Russian paramilitary group has been the main force in the fighting in Ukraine. They have been resting since last summer. It has been the symbol of the fierce fighting between Ukraine and Russia. The Wagner group has been responsible for a large part of the Russian forces that have been fighting for Bakhmut for several months. Prigozhin claims regular Russian forces are to take over the positions around Bakhmut. The Wagner group has been important to Russia, so it may become more difficult for the Russians to continue fighting in Ukraine. This withdrawal is happening at the same time as Ukraine has been preparing for the spring offensive.
