IN DEPTH

Russia's Wagner group running out of ammunition

The head of Russia's Wagner group, which is spearheading Russia's offensive in Ukraine, has complained his forces still lack ammunition, blaming possible "bureaucracy or betrayal."

Kremlin-ally Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose recruits have been fighting for months to capture the battle-scarred city of Bakhmut, has been entangled in a power struggle with the defense ministry and accused them of withholding supplies.

In a post on social media late on Sunday, Prigozhin complained that Russian reservists meant to deploy to Bakhmut had been diverted and that ammunition promised by the military was days late in arriving.

"We are trying to understand what the reasons are -- the usual bureaucracy or betrayal," Prigozhin said in reference to the deliveries of ammunition.

Bakhmut has become the bloodiest and longest-running battle of Russia's year-long war in Ukraine, even though analysts suggest the city holds little strategic significance.
