Russia's Wagner Chief Criticizes War Leadership as Clownish.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, has threatened to withdraw his mercenary army from fighting in Ukraine if the war effort continues to be "led by clowns who turn people into meat." The Wagner Group has suffered heavy losses in Ukraine and is leaving Bakhmut. Prigozhin has criticized the Kremlin's war efforts and said his fighters would only continue if they were given a separate section on the frontlines and did not have to follow Russian army leadership. He has also denied any plans for a coup and said he would like to see reforms in Russia.
