The Growing Threat of Yevgeny Prigozhin to Moscow and Putin's Regime.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Russia's Wagner Group, has been publicly criticizing the country's top military brass, causing concern among some figures in the Kremlin. Prigozhin has accused troops from Russia's regular army of "hauling ass" from their positions in Bakhmut and mocked Victory Day celebrations on Red Square. He has also accused "traitors" in the Russian establishment of trying to tank Wagner's efforts to seize the embattled Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. Sources close to the presidential administration say that Prigozhin's ultimatums to the Defense Ministry are now seen as a "serious threat."
