LONDON - Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin took a bitter public feud with the top army brass to a new level on Wednesday, publishing a grisly image of dozens of his fighters he said had been killed after being deprived of ammunition.
The defence ministry, in a statement late on Tuesday, said such allegations were “completely untrue” and complained - without mentioning Mr Prigozhin by name - about attempts to create splits that worked “solely to the benefit of the enemy”. “This is one of the places where the bodies of those who have died are gathered,” Mr Prigozhin told a prominent Russian military blogger in an interview.
In another move likely to infuriate the top army brass, he released a copy of what he said was Wagner’s official request to the defence ministry for ammunition with detailed tallies of shells used, requested and received - though he said he had blanked out sensitive data such as the names of the shells.
