Wagner chief rages at Russia’s generals and threatens Bakhmut pullout

In extraordinary video tirade, Yevgeny Prigozhin attacks defence minister and chief of armed forces

Standing in a field littered with corpses, the Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has recorded an expletive-ridden video personally blaming Russia’s top defence chiefs for losses suffered by fighters in Ukraine.

In a separate message, Prigozhin also said Wagner troops would leave the besieged eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut next week.
