this has kinda been going on for a month or more. It sorta started, at least publicly with the mod not supplying enough artillery shells to wagner. Prig released a couple of call out videos directed at shog. Then there was some accidental attacks on wagner by the russian army. Mining a road out of Bakmut when wagner turned over the town to the russian military was kinda suspect as well. It was the road ahead of wagner. So this has been escalating for a minute. So this isn't a big surprise.

I was a little concerned that this was a ploy by the russians to move their better more experienced fighter away from the front so they could blow the zapp NPP that they mined. Either way Prig could see the writing on the wall and knew the the Ukranian offensive was building steam and probably isn't going to be stopped. Not unless something drastic happened. He's been telling them for weeks that lieing about the situation was only making the situation worse.
