WAGNER’S CLAIM THAT THE “RUSSIAN ARMY DID NOT GIVE THEM AMMUNITION TO THEM”
Last month, mercenaries from the Russian security company Wagner sought support from the Russian Ministry of Defense, claiming in a video they took that “they were no longer supplied with ammunition”.
Evegeniy Prigojin, in his written statement regarding the call in the video, emphasized that the mercenary fighters did not use a defamatory expression of the Russian Ministry of Defense and stated that they only expressed their demands for ammunition.
Afterwards, Prigojin stated that a sufficient number of ammunition was produced in Russia, but the problems related to its supply were not resolved. “Despite all my contacts, I cannot solve this problem. Everything is in place. No decision is taken on this issue.” he said.
After this statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the statements about “problems with the supply of ammunition” were not based on reality and that all the demands of the attack units were fulfilled as soon as possible.
