Wagner leader threatens withdrawal from Bakhmut amidst Ukraine's counteroffensive.

Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin announced that his forces would abandon their positions in Bakhmut due to a lack of ammunition. Meanwhile, former US President Bill Clinton said he foreshadowed Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine back in 2011. Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said that "any self-respecting country" would stop talking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after an attempted drone strike over the Kremlin that Moscow says was carried out by Ukraine. US Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines warned lawmakers that Russia and China will take advantage of the US potentially defaulting on its debt. The Biden administration issued another round of denials that it directed or helped support Wednesday's alleged drone attack on the Kremlin.
