The boss of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin threatened to pull his troops out of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine next week because of a critical shortage of ammunition.
Russia has been trying to capture the embattled city for months.
The claim comes as independent military experts believe Ukraine is on the verge or has already started a counteroffensive against Russia’s military almost 15 months after Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine.

Prigozhin made the threat in a video that was also posted on social-messaging site Telegram. Prigozhin is known for being a publicity seeker who routinely makes false statements, unverifiable claims and threats he doesn’t follow through on.
