Russian paramilitary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin said that he had received "a promise" of more ammunition from the Russian army. This came after Yevgeny Prigozhin threatened to pull his Wagner troops out of Bakhmut. "They promised to give us all the ammunition and armaments we need to continue the operations," Yevgeny Prigozhin said criticising Russian military chiefs over the situation in Bakhmut. The Wagner chief also said that they had been assured "that everything necessary will be provided" to fighters around Bakhmut as he threatened to "pull out Wagner units from Bakhmut because in the absence of ammunition they are facing a senseless death". Without more support, Yevgeny Prigozhin had said that he would pull back his fighters on May 10 "and withdraw Wagner units to rear camps to lick our wounds".
