5. So, he made a video for Twitter?

We're just going to accept this as true with zero context?

Where and when did he make this recording? For what purpose? Was it simply to be posted on social media? If not, then how was this recording obtained?

11. It could be real, it could be fake

But we are pretty much doomed in the next election cycle if we keep doing this.

6. Here's the story for the rest of us...........

Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin on Friday said his fighters will pull out of the key eastern Ukraine battleground of Bakhmut on May 10, ripping a lack of support from Moscow that is dooming his troops “to a senseless death.”

His mercenaries have led the bitter fight for control of the small city that has become the scene of some of the bloodiest conflict in Ukraine in recent months despite Bakhmut holding little strategic significance. In a series of furious tirades against Russia’s military commanders, Prigozhin said he’ll now pull his forces out of the city because Wagner is not being given the ammunition it needs.

“I am officially addressing the supreme commander-in-chief, the chief of the General Staff, the minister of defense, and the people of Russia,” Prigozhin said in a statement shared on Telegram. “I declare on behalf of the fighters of the Wagner Group… that on May 10, 2023, we are being forced to hand over our positions in Bakhmut to Ministry of Defense units and withdraw what’s left of Wagner to the rear to lick our wounds.”

9. So it doesn't sound like "Russia" is pulling out.

It looks like Wagner will hand it off to Russia's military.

10. Why wait? How many more of your hired thugs will die by then?

17. Could be the Russian military is short on ordinance.

and they're prioritizing their own forces.

Certainly Ukraine is running low, too. They're using it up at a blistering pace.

8. Anyone else starting to think that he was behind the Kremilin drone "attack"?

I have a feeling there's a LOT more infighting going on there than than is being let on.

12. Quite a number of people think so.

[maxsolomon]

16. If he was, it was coordinated with the FSB

That was staged.
