Wagner PMC's ammunition shortage threatens Russian military in Bakhmut.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner private militia, has renewed his appeal to Russia's defence ministry to increase ammunition shipments to his fighters trying to seize the city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. Prigozhin claimed on April 11 his forces, which are leading the assault, controlled more than 80% of the city. Wagner is not part of Russia's official armed forces, and Prigozhin has previously accused the defence ministry of "betraying" his fighters by not providing sufficient ammunition.
