It’s not a Russian withdrawal per se - this is the Wagner private military company, whose leadership is aggrieved that the regular Russian army hasn’t been keeping it adequately supplied with ammunition. The Russian leadership absolutely will not want this to happen. It may yet be that they take him seriously and start supplying him what he wants, and he won’t actually order his men out.
If he actually does it, it will be a catastrophe for the Russian position in that part of the front and it won’t earn Pregozhin any friends in Moscow. You have to wonder what his calculus is here. Is he going properly insane, or is this a prelude to some sort of attempted coup?
