 Ukraine strengthens defences of Bakhmut. Wagner Group is dissatisfied. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting of the General Staff. Zelensky asked Commander-in-Chief Valery Zalozhnyi and the head of the operational strategic troop group Alexander Sirsky about future activities in the direction of Bakhmut. Both men expressed their support for the continuation of the defense operation and the further strengthening of Ukraine's positions in Bakhmut. At the meeting a decision was made to strengthen the defense of Bakhmut. At this time the head of Russia's Wagner mercenary force warned that Russia's position around the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut was in peril unless his troops got ammunition. Prigozin said Russia's front lines near Bakhmut would or could collapse if his forces did not receive the ammunition promised by Moscow in February. For now we are trying to figure out the reason. Is it just ordinary bureaucracy or a betrayal? Prigozin referring to the absence of ammunition said in his press service telegram channel. The mercenary chief regularly criticizes Russia's defense chiefs and top generals. Last month he accused Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and others of treason for withholding supplies of munitions to his men. In a nearly four minute video published on the Wagner Orchestra telegram channel on Saturday Prigozin said his troops were worried that the government wanted to set them up as possible scapegoats if Russia lost the war. If Wagner retreats from Bakhmut now the whole front will collapse. Prigozin said the situation will not be sweet for all military formations protecting Russian interests.
