Prigozhin's very public criticism of Russia's military leadership this week has made it impossible for the Kremlin to ignore.
The war in Ukraine looks to have created deep and lasting tensions between Russia's leadership in Moscow and its mercenary fighters on the ground.
The latest rant came after Prigozhin threatened last Saturday to withdraw his forces from Bakhmut if ammunition was not forthcoming — but the next day he withdrew the threat, saying he had received a promise that ammunition was on its way. He thundered back that "if there is no ammunition, we will leave the positions and ask who is really cheating on their homeland. Apparently, the one is the person who signed it [the order]."
Among Prigozhin's usual tirades against Russia's military leadership was a more cryptic criticism that raised eyebrows among Russia watchers and led them to question whether he could have crossed the Rubicon and was now criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the Gen. Valery Gerasimov after a meeting of the Russian Defence Ministry Board on December 21, 2022.
