Wagner Group's Threat to Withdraw from Bakhmut Amid Ammo Shortage Raises Concerns.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner private military company, has threatened to withdraw his forces from Bakhmut due to a lack of ammunition and mounting losses. He blamed Russia's military command for the shortage and accused them of causing "tens of thousands" of Wagner casualties. Prigozhin's Wagner group has taken on a growing role in the Ukraine conflict as Russian forces falter, but his clashes with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and chief of the Russian armed forces Gen. Valery Gerasimov have prompted speculation about possible elite infighting in Moscow.
