Russia: Video of private army chief Prigozhin surfaced for the first time after the mutiny

Moscow. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russia’s private army Wagner Group, appeared on video Wednesday in which he appeared to tell his soldiers that they would have to spend some time in Belarus for their military training before being deployed to Africa. The previous month, Russia’s private army led by Prigozhin briefly mutinied. Messaging app channels belonging to Prigozhin’s Wagner private army company said he addressed troops at a field camp in Belarus and released a video. The visuals have been blurred in this video prepared in the evening. His shadow is visible in it and his grave voice can be heard clearly.

In the video, Prigozhin says, “Welcome all of you.” It is my pleasure to welcome all of you. Welcome to the land of Belarus.” Prigozhin said, “We fought with honor. The attacks have done a lot for Russia.” Prigozhin’s rebellion posed a grave threat to President Vladimir Putin’s 23-year rule. This rebellion, however, was brief. In the new video, Prigozhin also criticized the decision to fight in Ukraine. The authenticity of the video could not be immediately confirmed. He said, “Whatever is happening at the border today is a matter of shame in which we should not take part.”

She said that the Wagner Legion may return to Ukraine in the future. “We can return to the special military operation only when we feel that what we do will not cause us embarrassment,” Prigozhin said in the video. “We need to wait now,” Prigozhin said. During this, we will make the army of Belarus the second most powerful army in the world. We will train, raise our level and then go on a new journey to Africa.
