Prigozhin confirmed the recruitment in the "Wagner PMC" a student from Zambia

Evgeny Prigozhin, a businessman and creator of the Wagner PMC, confirmed that his militarized group recruited a citizen of Zazbia Nathan Niirenda in the Russian colony, who died in a war in Ukraine. Prigozhin’s comment was published by the press service of his Concord company.

According to the businessman, he remembers Niyrend well and communicated with him in the Tver region. Prigozhin claims that he asked the African question why he would go to war. Niirenda allegedly replied that "the Russians helped Africans to gain independence for many years." "Wagner's PMC saves thousands of Africans, and if I go to war with you, this is probably less than I can pay our debts," the Concordcommentary on behalf of Nierenda says.

The death of Niyreds in the zone of the battles of Russia and Ukraine became known in mid -November. This was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Zambia. Then the press appeared in the press that the African was recruited.

It was 23 years old, he studied at the Moscow Engineering and Physical Institute and worked as a courier. In the spring of 2020, he was sentenced to nine and a half years in a colony in the case of drug storage.

• According to numerous evidence, convicts who agree to take part in the hostilities as part of the Wagner PMC, they should stay at the front line for six months, and they are forbidden to retreat and surrender to them under the threat of execution. Those who will remain alive in six months later, promise pardon. According to various sources, from ten to twenty thousand prisoners were recruited in PMCs.
