Prigozhin says the lack of ammunition means that the soldiers are doomed to die. He says he is prepared to withdraw them from the city within five days.
He has previously threatened to pull them out if they don't comply with his orders. The Russian government has ordered the withdrawal of all troops from the region. The withdrawal is expected to take place within the next few days, he says. The decision to withdraw the troops was made after a meeting of the Russian military's top brass.
