Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russia's Wagner Group, claimed that Moscow has agreed to provide more ammunition to his troops fighting in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. Days earlier, he had threatened to withdraw his fighters citing insufficient supplies. However, on Sunday, Prigozhin stated his forces had been given permission to "act in Bakhmut as we see fit," appearing to suggest they would remain. Prigozhin regularly criticises Russian officials for a lack of front-line support and has previously made empty threats. Russian soldiers and Wagner fighters have been trying to capture Bakhmut, established by pro-Russian rebels as Luhansk Oblast's administrative centre, for several months, although western officials say it has questionable strategic importance. Wagner and Russian troops are uneasy allies, with Prigozhin regularly making anguished statements about the lack of government support. In his latest statement, Prigozhin referred to ex-Ukrainian Airborne Troops General Sergei Surovikin, who oversaw Russia's military operations in Ukraine from October to January, as the only army general who knows how to fight.
