Two of Vladimir Putin’s key war chiefs were bitterly fighting each other today as the dictator begs Chinese leader Xi Jinping for urgent military aid.
Head of private army Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, bluntly and publicly warned defence minister Sergei Shoigu that he will lose all military gains in Bakhmut if he fails to act fast.
Shoigu evidently shunned Prigozhin who soon after launched a scathing attack on the defence minister’s "scumbag" fitness blogging son-in-law.
