Russian troops from Wagner and regular Russian forces are trying to capture the eastern town of Ukraine.
But Wagner's chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has complained of lack of ammunition, saying it may be the usual “burocracy or a betrayal”.
Relations between Wagner and Moscow seem increasingly tense.
The Wagner Group has tens of thousands of troops in Ukraine, some recruited directly from Russian prisons, and has become a key part of Moscow's invasion.
In Sunday's post, Pgozhin said documents were signed on February 22nd, while ammunition is expected to be sent to Bakhmut the following day.
But most were not sent, he said, before suggesting that it could be discussed.
In a video posted on Saturday, but apparently filmed in February, Pgozhin said Russia's front line would collapse without his troops.
If now Wagner The PMC [private military company] withdraws from Bakhmut, then the entire front will be in a bind, and today PMC Wagner is cementing it. On the one hand, we are drawing the entire Ukrainian army over ourselves, grinding and destroying it, and giving it no chance to focus on other front sectors”, he said.
