The leader of Russia's Wagner private military company said Sunday that his group would not comply with an order that would require it to sign a formal contract with Russia's defense ministry by July 1.The blunt refusal to comply with the order marks the latest flashpoint in a long-running feud between the mercenary boss, Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, and Russia's defense minister, Sergei K. Shoigu, that has highlighted disunity in Moscow's ranks and infighting over the management of Russian troops in Ukraine.
