PMC Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin made a video appeal to the Russian Ministry of Defence showing the PMC’s recent casualties and demanding ammunition supplies. The video was published on the Telegram channel of Prigozhin’s press service.
“These are the Wagner boys who died today. The blood is still fresh. Record them all! <...> Those [...] who don’t give us ammunition, [...] will be in hell eating their guts out. We have a 70% ammunition shortage. [Defence Minister] Shoigu! [Chief of the General Staff] Gerasimov! Where [...] is the ammunition? <...> You think you’re the masters of this life and that you have the right to dispose of their lives? <...> They came here as volunteers and are dying for you to grow fat in your mahogany offices”, Prigozhin can be seen shouting in the video.
