Prigozhin: ammunition output increased but still a worry for Wagner and Russian army

Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Friday he had thanked the government for a "heroic" increase in production of ammunition but he was still worried about shortages for his fighters and the Russian army as a whole.

Prigozhin also said Wagner, which has taken heavy losses in fighting for the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, had opened recruitment centres in 42 Russian cities.
