Again open Wagner Group Commander Yevgeny Prigozhin, Fire on the Russian Staff and the Ministry of Defense headed by Sergei Shoigu, noting that the latter waged the war in Ukraine in order to get the rank of Marshal.

“There were reasons for the war… so that Shoigu would be promoted to the rank of marshal… and so that he would be awarded a hero’s medal (of Russia) again. The war was not waged to demilitarize Ukraine or de-Nazify it,” he added.

He also indicated that Russia did not wage the war to disarm Ukraine or eliminate what is described as “Nazism,” adding, “It is not true that Ukraine was planning with NATO before the war to attack Russia.”

Genocide of the Russians

Earlier today, charged Yevgeny Prigogine The Ministry of Defense again did not provide the combat forces on the fronts with ammunition, saying, “The leadership of the Ministry of Defense believes that the lives of soldiers are very cheap compared to ammunition, and they believe that they will need missiles to defend Moscow, so all warehouses near Moscow are full of them.”

The Wagner leader also held the Minister of Defense responsible for the “genocide of Russian soldiers”.

his harshest remarks

The leader of Wagner, that Russian group that played a prominent role on the battle fronts in Ukraine, has questioned Moscow’s version of what is happening on the ground in Ukrainian territory during the past months.

In previous statements, he said, criticizing the Ministry of Defense for its delay in sending military reinforcements to his forces, especially in the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut: “We are bathed in blood… No one is sending reinforcements. What they are telling us is deception,” referring to the Russian military and political leadership.

Likewise, he questioned, in one of his fiercest statements against the master of the Kremlin and Minister of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, the reasons behind Putin’s decision to launch the military operation in Ukraine, saying, “Why did the special military operation begin? .. The war was necessary for the self-promotion of a group of scoundrels.”

It is noteworthy that Prigozhin, a 62-year-old businessman who has become a prominent figure in Russian operations in Ukraine, was once very close to Putin, but that did not prevent him from criticizing Moscow’s policies over and over again.

This raised many question marks in the Russian corridors about the reasons that still prevent the master of the Kremlin from limiting him.
