Wagner PMC mercenaries accused Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian General Staff, of being unable to arrange logistics . Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner PMC, also took the side of the mercenaries.
Investigative journalist Khristo Grozev, who was put on the wanted list by Russia, distributed a video appeal of the mercenaries. The occupiers in the video swore at Gerasimov.
The mercenaries do not have enough ammunition
The mercenaries called Gerasimov “pi ** rum” and “damn yob ** y”, complaining that they had nothing to fight with. They complain that comrades are dying for them at the front, “but we are not helping here.”
The invaders naively say that they want to defeat everyone and fight against the entire Ukrainian army like Bakhmut. The mercenaries ask a rhetorical question where Gerasimov is and finally ask for help.

Russian propaganda said with a reference to the Russian General Staff that behind this video allegedly are “Ukrainian nationalists” who want to discredit the military leadership of Russia.

Prigozhin denied the involvement of Ukrainians
The founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin actually supported the attack of his mercenaries on Gerasimov. This once again confirms the split in the Russian armies.
Prigozhin denied the information of Russian propagandists, they say, in the video “Ukrainian nationalists.” In addition, he relayed messages from the mercenaries.
“As for the problems that, unfortunately, arise at every step, we will solve them, and we will force them to be solved. There are no nationalists on that loud video. And separately, the guys asked me to convey that when you sit in a warm office, it’s hard to hear the problems of the front line … I would like so that everyone moves and at least somehow thinks about how they are there, on the front line,” Prigozhin said.
