VLADIMIR Putin was called a “son of a bitch” by his once-loyal leader’s minions.
Yevgeny Prigozhin – top Russian mercenary Wagner – unleashed the greatest challenge to the tyrant’s authority.

He already has criticized the ammo shortage helped Ukraine kill its own people.
But he watched a video attack on “Mr” Putin in the background Bloodbath in Bakhmut.
He raged at the military commanders in the Kremlin: “They are collecting (ammunition) in the warehouse – why? Nobody know.
“Instead of spending a shell to kill the enemy and save the lives of our soldiers, they let our soldiers die — and ‘happy grandpa’ thinks this is good for him. If he is right, then God bless everyone.
“But how are we going to win the war, if by chance – and I’m just speculating – this grandpa turns out to be a total asshole?”
Putin often referred to as “grandfather” by critics in Russia — or by critics as “grandfather Bunker”.
It comes a day later Putin’s humiliating annual Victory Day parade in Moscow, where there is only one rusty T-34 tank.
Ukraine gloated that the number of tanks that paraded during Putin’s celebration last year were now blown up tanks destroyed during the war.
Wagner’s boss, whose army includes thousands of newly released criminals, last week attacked minister Sergei Shoigu and military commander Valery Gerasimov.
He warned that he would withdraw his troops if they were not supplied with more shells – but then refrained.
In his latest speech, Prigozhin added: “The shells bring freedom. And if they don’t give freedom with seashells. . . if they keep holding them then first we need to stuff it in their *** hole and put them in jail.
The profanity is another sign of divisions among Russia’s leaders.
Moscow press assistant Dmitry Peskov declined to discuss Prigozhin’s attack.
