The Institute for the Study of War said Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin was becoming 'increasingly bold in his verbal attacks' on defense officials.
founder Yevgeny Prigozhin has clashed again with the Russian Defense Ministry over his paramilitary unit's role in Ukraine, as well as the ministry's latest guidelines for soldiers.

He has become increasingly critical of Russia's defense minister Sergei Shoigu , pictured at the Army 2022 Forum in Patriot Park, outside Moscow, on August 20, 2022.Prigozhin set up the Wagner Group in 2014 and is its chief financier. Although he is an ally of President, he regularly criticizes the Kremlin and especially defense officials for setbacks in Ukraine.
The ISW's latest assessment of the war states that the ministry is still trying to downplay the role of the Wagner Group in reported tactical advances around Soledar. The ministry has since said that"volunteers of assault detachments" captured some territory—likely a reference to Wagner Group fighters, according to the ISW.
