Massive split in Russian military forces as Wagner vows to quit Bakhmut on May 10

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:25:29 GMT

KYIV — The war of words between Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Russian defense ministry escalated on Friday, with the paramilitary group’s financier filming himself raging at Moscow and threatening to pull out of the key battleground town of Bakhmut.In a statement published by Prigozhin’s press service, Wagner commanders accused Russia’s defense ministry of artificially creating shell shortages for their mercenaries and causing mass casualties. Wagner’s statement accuses the Kremlin of being jealous of its forces’ successes on the front lines, particularly after defense ministry units were forced to retreat from Kharkiv and Kherson during Ukraine’s September 2022 counteroffensive.“We were supposed to take Bakhmut by May 9. And knowing that, military bureaucrats almost completely cut our shell supplies on May 1,” the statement claimed.Wagner’s statement was released several hours after Prigozhin ...

Orioles bench bat Ryan O’Hearn has bought into his sporadic role, one he believes can keep him in the majors

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:25:29 GMT

Ryan O’Hearn’s job, most days, is to sit on the bench and wait.The Orioles’ first baseman gets the occasional start against a right-handed starting pitcher. But usually his role is as a bench bat, a left-handed hitter at manager Brandon Hyde’s disposal to pinch hit against a right-handed reliever.The role isn’t new for O’Hearn, who spent the past few years in Kansas City as a bench bat for the Royals. It’s not the job O’Hearn wants, but it’s one he’s learned to accept — and even joke about.“We were joking earlier about if I was gonna get a statue over there,” O’Hearn said, recalling a conversation he had with his former teammates earlier this week. “I said, ‘Yeah, maybe on that bench over there they could put a statue for me.’”O’Hearn spent the first nine years of his professional career in the Royals organization and most of the previous five campaigns in the big league...
