The apparent snub comes as Wagner Group boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin pleads with Moscow to provide Wagner Group with ammunition it desperately needs in the war.
“On March 5, I wrote a letter to the commander of the SMO grouping about the urgent need to allocate ammunition. On March 6, at 8 a.m., my representative at the headquarters had his pass cancelled and was denied access,” Prigozhin in a Telegram post, according to a Reuters translation.
Wagner Group fighters asked Russia for more ammunition in February, noting that Wagner Group mercenaries were dying unnecessarily in Ukraine as they try to fight off a Ukrainian advance in Bakhmut. The delays and the latest denial to the Wagner representative has raised questions for Prigozhin about whether Russia—over a year into a war that has no end in sight—is willing to use Wagner as scapegoat in case it loses the war.
“What if they [the Russian authorities] want to set us up, saying that we are scoundrels—and that's why they are not giving us ammunition, not giving us weapons, and not letting us replenish our personnel, including [recruiting] prisoners,”in a video, referencing recent measures Russia has established to prevent Wagner Group from rounding up prisoners to run on missions in Ukraine with little to no training.
Prigozhin warned that if the supplies are not provided to Wagner, Russia may lose Bakhmut—and more—to Ukraine.
