Wagner boss says he will pull troops out of Bakhmut
KYIV — The leader of Russia's Wagner Group has threatened to withdraw his troops from the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut by Wednesday, in a row over ammunition.His statement came after he posted a gruesome video of him walking among dead fighters' bodies, asking defense officials for more supplies.Russia has been trying to capture the city for months, despite its questionable strategic value.Yevgeny Prigozhin pinned his decision squarely on the defense ministry."Shoigu!

Russia scales back Victory Day celebrations
MOSCOW — Several Russian cities have announced they will scale back this year's Victory Day celebrations.Russian authorities have cited security reasons and attacks from pro-Ukrainian forces for the changes.Explosions and fires have occurred in Russia in recent weeks.But some have argued that the reduced events show the Kremlin is nervous about celebrations turning into shows of dissent against its invasion of Ukraine.Great pomp and shows of military might are the usual hallmarks of Victory Day, which marks the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany on 9 May 1945.One of the day's most recognizable events is the Immortal Regiment procession, which sees people across the country marching holding photographs of their relatives who fought in World War Two.Last year, President...
