Wagner leader in anti-Kremlin rant & Russia orders evacuations 'ahead of Ukrainian counter-offensive'

Day 435.

Today, we discuss the extraordinary videos from Yevgheny Prighozin, the head of the Wagner group, who filmed himself in front of dead Wagner soldiers and blamed Moscow for a shortage of ammunition. He even threatens to retreat from Bakhmut by the 10 May. 

Plus, we analyse how Russian state media is treating the alleged drone strike on the Kremlin and hear diplomatic updates from across the world.
