Russia's Military, Wagner Trade More Barbs Over Ukraine

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

KYIV, Ukraine—A rift in Russia’s Ukraine military campaign showed signs of widening as Moscow denied allegations from paramilitary force Wagner Group that it was choking off the group’s ammunition supply.

“Attempts to split the close mechanism of interaction and support between the divisions of the Russian group are counterproductive and play only to the benefit of the enemy,” the Russian Defense Ministry wrote on Telegram late Tuesday. “Over the past two days alone, the total advance…of assault units in the area of the city of Bakhmut amounted to more than 2.5 kilometers.”

Yevgeny Prigozhin, Wagner’s founder, quickly responded with a voice message on Telegram denying the military’s claims that the group was still receiving ammunition.

Though Mr. Prigozhin has criticized the Russian military establishment regularly since last year, his broadsides have reached a new level in recent days, calling to question whether Wagner, which has helped spearhead the Ukraine campaign in recent months, will continue in a prominent role.

1. I guess the Russians don't have enough on their hands to keep from fighting internally.

I bet there is a Sun Tzu quote in that story.

3. Maybe they'll start shooting each other?

that would be most productive.
