Russian paramilitary group Wagner’s leader threatened to withdraw his troops from the front line in Ukraine, raising fresh tensions between Moscow’s military leaders
A blaze at a Russian refinery near the border with Ukraine early Friday sent plumes of smoke into the sky. Military analysts have said the string of drone strikes is likely part of Kyiv’s attempt to disrupt Russian logistics ahead of its planned offensive. Ukraine hasn’t commented on the attacks.
Russian state television initially blamed saboteurs. State media later said the blast was caused when the blaze from a previous attack by Ukrainian drones on Thursday reignited. Earlier this week, an airport in Russia’s Bryansk region was also targeted by a drone, and two trains carrying fuel toward the front lines were derailed in the same area.

Wagner boss criticizes Russia’s military leaders, threatens to withdraw from BakhmutThe owner of Russia’s Wagner Group military contractor is threatening to pull his troops out of the protracted battle for the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut next week. He accused Russia’s military command Friday of starving his forces of ammunition and rendering them unable to fight. Yevgeny Prigozhin, a notorious millionaire with longtime links to Russian President Vladimir Putin, claimed that Wagner had planned to capture Bakhmut by May 9. That day is a major Russian holiday marking the defeat of the Nazi Germany in World War II. But Prigozhin said his force hasn’t received enough artillery ammunition supplies from the Russian military since Monday. Known for his bluster, Prigozhin has previously made unverifiable claims and made threats he hasn’t carried out.
