The founder of the PMC Wagner Evgeny Prigozhin announced the cessation of the set of employers in Russia and confirmed that the PMC continues his activities in Africa and Belarus. The audio recording with Prigozhin's statements published the Grey Zone Telegram channel related to the PMC.
“Until we experience a shortage in personnel, we do not plan to carry out a new set. However, we will be extremely grateful to you if you are in touch with us, and as soon as the homeland needs to create a new group that will be able to protect the interests of our country, we will certainly deal with a set, ”Prigozhin said.
According to him, the fighters did not put any restrictions on the transition to the “other power structures” of Russia, but not many agreed to cross. Previously, Vladimir Putin proposed to sign contracts from the Ministry of Defense Wagnerians.
After a military rebellion , who was arranged by Evgeny Prigozhin along with the mercenaries of the Wagner PMC, Putin said that Wagner's PMC was full of state. During their “campaign to Moscow”, PMC fighters shot down 1 aircraft and 6 helicopters of the Russian Army, officially the number of dead were not reported, according to the media, at least 13 military are talking.
When the rebellion has just begun, Putin commented on Prigozhin’s actions in this way:
“This is a blow to Russia, in our people. And our actions to protect the Fatherland from such a threat will be tough. Everyone who deliberately embarked on the path of betrayal, who prepared the armed rebellion, embarked on the path of blackmail and terrorist methods, bear inevitable punishment, respond to both the law and before our people. The one who organized and prepared a military rebellion, who raised weapons at the combat comrades, betrayed Russia. And they will answer for it. "
However, when in the end, Prigozhin abandoned his plans and agreed to “go to Belarus”, the Russian state media talked about Potozhin and Putin in the Kremlin who had passed soon after the rebellion. Here is how, for example, the host of Russia 1, Ernest Matskyavicius , reported her:
“The meeting confirmed the consistent position of the state, its willingness to interact with everyone for whom loyalty to the Motherland is a fundamental value. In addition, the conversation showed the president’s desire to see as an objective picture of events as possible, receiving information from first -hand. It was such a policy that helped the Russian leadership cope with the rebellion, demonstrating not only strength, but also a deep understanding of events and circumstances. ”
