Founder of Russia's Wagner Group suggests its possible dissolution.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of Russia's private Wagner militia, said the group could soon cease to exist due to a lack of ammunition from Russia's regular armed forces. Meanwhile, Russian forces launched large-scale airstrikes across Ukraine, killing at least 12 people. Russian authorities also cracked down on human rights groups, ordering one to shut and raiding the homes of advocates from another. The UN Secretary-General has sought an extension to a deal that keeps grain shipments moving through the Black Sea, while global military spending reached an all-time high of $2.24tn in 2022, largely due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
