Russia Bars Its Own Shadow Army Rep in Explosive Public Feud

The spat between Putin’s military and shadow army has spiraled after accusations that a representative of Yevgeny Prigozhin was denied access to a Russian war base in Ukraine.
A representative for Wagner Group boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin was reportedly denied access to Russia’s military command in Ukraine Monday, in the latest sign that Moscow is sidelining Prigozhin’s mercenary fighting group in the war in Ukraine.

The apparent snub comes as Prigozhin pleads with Moscow to provide the Wagner Group with the ammunition it desperately needs in the war. The ammunition, though, has not been delivered—an act Prigozhin said could either be “ordinary bureaucracy or betrayal.”

Bloody cook ought to know that.


"He was the Emperor's favorite, so devoted and generous. Once he bit into a peach so succulent he declared himself unfit for it, that heaven meant it for His Worship, and gave it over to him. It was bruited about as an example to all of pious regard for the Throne. Favor is fleeting. Long after the man who did it went to the scaffold, the Emperor would tell of what deep disrespect the wretch had shown, saying that once, he even gave me his left-overs to eat."

Maybe Putin is getting a tad anxious with having a merc army fighting for Russian military assets?
