The leader of the Russian Wagner Group said his mercenary army will not continue fighting in Ukraine if the war effort continues to be "led by clowns who turn people into meat."

Yevgeny Prigozhin, who was previously a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has become increasingly critical of the Kremlin's war efforts. Wagner, the private army founded by Prigozhin, has experienced heavy losses fighting in Ukraine.

"If the whole chain (of command) is 100% failed and will only be led by clowns who turn people into meat, then we will not participate in it," Prigozhin at a training camp on Thursday, Reuters reported. Prigozhin also said it had been "a tough year" and that confirmed the Wagner Army would be leaving Bakhmut on June 5 and replaced by Russian troops.
