Prigozhin in response shut down claims that he has political ambitions in Russia and claimed that he cannot withdraw his forces from Africa because he 'made a promise to several presidents' that he will 'defend them.' The former Russian commander also accused Prigozhin of continuing to commit his forces to support operations in Syria and African countries instead of to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. On Wednesday, Girkin accused Prigozhin of 'deliberately misconstruing' his criticism of Prigozhin's political aspirations as an attack on the Wagner Group's fighters. The group, which provides soldiers for hire, has been leading Russian forces in offensives in eastern Ukraine.

The Wagner Group has been accused of doing Russia's dirty work in regions including Syria, Libya, the Central African Republic, Sudan, Mozambique, and eastern Ukraine and its contractors have been accused of committing human rights violations while doing so. The two are growing frustrated at the lack of progress in the war.
