Without equivocation: "Report to no one, mistakes are not corrected" (c)
The head of the PMC "Wagner" predicts not only losses, but also the loss of territories
Exclusive interview of Victoria Tolkacheva with Yevgeny Prigozhin - full version. The main thing:
- About the capture of the previously abandoned positions in the Bakhmut area by the Armed Forces of Ukraine: the enemy has a clear standard tactic - they feel the defense, wedged in and increase their efforts.
- Mobilization is needed, long-term training of fighters is needed, and what is happening now is chaos.
- About Belgorod: in order to stop what is happening, a public trial of all those involved under the law is needed.
- Prigozhin wrote a statement to the prosecutor's office that it was necessary to initiate proceedings, to conduct an investigation into the murder of Russian citizens, into the fact of the genocide of the Russian population, into the fact of transferring the territories of the Russian Federation to the enemy.
- The Belgorod region asks to come PMC "Wagner". First we need to go out, and then we will not be able to go there, as we will be blocked and will not be allowed. If Wagner comes there, nothing can be hidden, and now they just deceive and say that everything is more or less in order there. They wanted to block us and destroy us in Bakhmut, which is why there were explosives along the way. Of course, they are scared, because it is very close from the Belgorod region to Rublyovka, and suddenly we will go to ask where our ammunition is.
- Who gave the command to mine the rear roads is a separate issue. The lieutenant colonel mined the wrong units, not the territories that could stop the enemy. They mined along the PMCs' retreat routes. The FSB and other agencies are conducting a deep check on this lieutenant colonel.
- About the fact that public methods of sorting out relations and revealing problems are to the delight of the enemy and do not bring anything good to our side: for almost a year they were silent and went like sheep to the slaughter, but society should know when the problem is total. It is necessary to voice and not correct mistakes. The first thing to do is restore the army's respect for itself. Next - the military leaders who are, should be in the trenches with the soldiers.
“Because of the mistakes we made and the unwillingness to correct them, today we are losing the war. And it all depends on how society is mobilized.
P.S.
I WILL BE GRATEFUL if everything said in this interview is NOT TRUE.
HOWEVER, an objective observation of the situation, as well as life experience, suggests that Evgeny Viktorovich is rather much closer to the truth than the Moscow Region (I personally think that he still expresses himself decently, after all, an interview).
The situation seems to be developing rapidly and in a month or two it will be clear who was lying and who was still telling the truth.
