This guy has balls (and probably an elite unit of mercenaries protecting his every movement every day). I can't imagine speaking out against Putin unless you knew you were 100% unreachable.

He isn't speaking against Putin, he's got problems with the Russian ministry of offense

Yeah I think people forget that even though Russia maybe corrupt, it still has different areas of government handling different tasks/functions. Which has their own responsibilities, & people who are heads of such.

Putin has a lot of say in things, but functionally the tasks are divided much like ours.

True, but this comes as part of a series of public shakeups from Prigozhin in just the last few months.

Technically (and legally), he isn't even allowed to acknowledge that Wagner is even in Ukraine at all, yet here he is using social media to publicly badmouth the military and take credit for gains in the war.
