Wagner leader's criticism of Putin raises concerns of potential coup.
TL;DR
Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin's criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Ministry of Defense may be due to a lack of reward for Wagner's capture of Bakhmut. The Kremlin hoped to sack Bakhmut earlier than Prigozhin actually did, possibly to compare the win to Victory Day celebrations and the Soviet Union's capture of Berlin in 1945. Russian state media has effectively banned reporting on Wagner, according to Prigozhin.
