The chief of Russia's Wagner Group states that the group has only received ten percent of the total amount of ammunition promised by the Russian Ministry of Defence, and that the group will not withdraw from Bakhmut by its previously-stated deadline of 10 May. Prigozhin has announced that his forces will not withdraw from Bakhmut, despite the Russian Ministry of Defence failing to provide Wagner with additional shells. The Institute for the Study of War says one of the reasons Prigozhin was not following through on his threat to withdraw from Bakhmut is his claim that the Russian MoD order threatened Wagner with treason if he withdrew his forces from Bakhmut.
