Mr Prigozhin said he will pull Wagner out of Bahkmut on the 10th of May to lick their wounds. It's a continuation of the artillery ammunition drama.

> “Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where is my fucking ammunition?” an angry Prigozhin said in the video.

> “They came here as volunteers and they are dying so you can get fat in your wood-panelled offices,” he said, standing by rows of bodies in military uniform.

> “These guys are from Wagner. They died today. Their blood is still fresh,” he said, adding that army chiefs “will go to hell” for not sending ammunition.

> “We have an ammunition shortage of 70 percent,” he said in his tirade, in which several expletives were bleeped out.

> “You sit in your (bleeped) expensive clubs. Your children are full of life and film themselves in videos on YouTube.”

> “You think you are the masters of life and you have the right to decide on their lives,” he said, pointing at the bodies.

Mr Prigozhin is a colourful and outspoken chap. He often voices his grievances with the Russian army which is interesting and it shows that he is politically well protected. You would think somebody would shut him up considering the kind of things he keeps saying and the fact that he has his own personal army as well, he really does seem like a direct threat to the Russian leadership, but maybe that's in Mr Putin's interest and he is going to use Mr Prigozhin to quell internal issues after the war.

Or maybe Mr Prigozhin is just dumb or emotional, I do wonder how much of a psychological difference there is between what he is doing and what a standard General does, given that Wagner is his company and he is the one hiring and managing these people and in a sense they are all his people.

But then we don't know what behind the scenes factors are involved either, it could be that this withdrawal was planned all along and is just a standard rotation but Mr Prigozhin decided he would seek political gain from it by creating drama and making it seem like he has been forced to leave due to a lack of support.
