Ukraine war: Wagner detains Russian officer over 'drunk' attack

[Uncle Joe]

The Wagner mercenary group says it has detained a regular Russian army officer, who allegedly opened fire on a Wagner vehicle in Ukraine.

In a video, the officer says that the incident happened while he was drunk, because of his dislike for Wagner.

Earlier, the group's boss said the Russian army had mined the roads Wagner used to leave the city of Bakhmut.

There are longstanding tensions between Wagner and Russia's regular army, although they fight on the same side.

The head of the private military company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has launched several scathing attacks on Russia's most senior defence officials, complaining frequently of a lack of ammunition during the battle for Bakhmut in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region.

1. This guy's gonna March on the Kremlin

Mark my words. Some Russian general will collude with this guy and take out poot.

2. That thought has crossed my mind, as well.

There may be a full scale war breaking out between Wagner Group and whatever is left of the Russian Army. Not sure this would be progress for the Russian people, just another military dictator to replace a military dictator.

Join forces and topple poot, bash each other’s brains in, IDGAF.
