The chief of Russia's Wagner private military company, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, appeared in a video published by Wagner-affiliated channels on Telegram. The footage appears to be Prigozhin's first video address since leading an aborted mutiny in Russia in late June. It was not possible for CNBC and NBC News to verify the video or ascertain when and where the footage was shot. PMC Wagner is conducting reconnaissance, making Russia even greater on every continent – and Africa even freer," Prigozhin said, according to a NBC News translation. Wagner has operated in parts of Africa including Mali, the Central African Republic and Libya.

The meeting of G20 ministers in Indian is concluding after two days of economic and finance policy deliberations without a joint communique, as countries remain divided over the war in Ukraine. The group has already failed to reach a unified position on the war in Ukraine several times. Other states like India, China, South Africa and Russia itself oppose condemning Moscow. India, the host nation for this week's G20 meeting, has refrained from blaming Russia for the war and calls for a diplomatic resolution, while also buying discounted oil from Moscow. Russia calls the invasion, now nearly two years old, its "special military operation."

Russia is suffering from a shortage of counter-battery radars, the U.K.'s Ministry of Defence reported in its daily intelligence update on Twitter. Russian military forces in Ukraine rely heavily on counter-battery technology to intercept Ukrainian artillery fired at their positions. "Russia is suffering from a worsening shortage of counter-battery radars, especially its modern ZOOPARK-1M. Only a handful of the originally deployed ZOOPARK fleet are likely to remain operational in Ukraine," the MoD wrote in its post. "The priority Popov apparently gave to this problem highlights the continued centrality of artillery in the war," it added.

"Never before have the words "you are equal among equals" for Ukraine from other NATO members sounded truly meaningful," his post read.

"In terms of Ukraine itself, President Biden, the Germans, and others, the French, are not willing to give Ukraine membership right now," Ariel Cohen, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center, told CNBC. "President Biden said after the war is over Ukraine will get the membership," he said. Does that commit NATO to a war against Russia to liberate the Ukrainian territory? As a result of that, NATO does not accept new member states that are currently at war or have land occupied by an adversarial power. "When we applied for membership of NATO, we spoke frankly: de facto, Ukraine is already in the alliance," he said.

Ukraine's domestic security service said it intercepted a phone call proving a Russian "sabotage group" blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric station and dam in southern Ukraine. It posted a recording of what it said was an intercepted telephone call on its official Telegram channel. While one of the men appears to claim a Russian sabotage group was responsible for attacking the dam, he offers no evidence in support. That was our sabotage group. By blowing up the Kakhovka HPP dam, the Russian Federation finally proved that it is a threat to the entire civilized world.

The Biden administration is working to mend ties among some key allies who are upset over revelations from recently leaked U.S. intel documents. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin held a phone call with South Korea's defense minister, after lawmakers in Seoul were angered over reports of the CIA spying on their discussions about arms sales to Washington. Another report from the leak is a purported CIA update from early March saying that Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, encouraged its officers to join local protests against controversial reforms being pushed by the Israeli government. The Israeli administration denied Mossad had any part in the protests. — Natasha Turak

Russian forces have "highly likely" advanced into the center of the war-ravaged city of Bakhmut after weeks of bloody fighting and little progress, the UK's Ministry of Defence wrote in its daily intelligence update. "Russia has made further gains and has now highly likely advanced into the town centre, and has seized the west bank of the Bakhmutka River. Ukraine's key 0506 supply route to the west of the town is likely severely threatened," the ministry wrote on Twitter. "Russian regular forces, likely including airborne troops, have probably reinforced the area, and Russia is again using artillery more effectively in the sector."

As many as 60,000 Russian forces, including both the formal military and private contractors, may have been killed in the year since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to Britain's Ministry of Defense. "Russian Ministry of Defence and private military contractor (PMC) forces have likely suffered 175-200,000 casualties since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. This likely includes approximately 40-60,000 killed," the ministry wrote in its daily intelligence update on Twitter. "By modern standards, these figures represent a high ratio of personnel killed compared to those wounded. This is almost certainly due to extremely rudimentary medical provision across much of the force."

Poland is ready to take "non-standard action" and send Ukraine two of its Leopard tanks if Germany opposes the move, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski said. "I do not rule out that we are ready to take such a step," Jablonski was quoted by Reuters as telling a private radio station. "At the moment we are trying to make Germany not only agree these tanks being sent by Poland or other countries, but also to do so themselves." Germany has been slow to approve sending heavy weaponry to Ukraine for fear of provoking Russia.
