yevgeny prigozhin is preparing a real can prepare a real from the mutiny in the russian government regardinging literally now the online publication glavkom, to which he is involved, has published an interview with the investigator grozhov who actually this thesis about prigozhin and proclaimed what comes to the ambitions have grown, this is understandable, but i here for by some signs, i agree with grozhov that putin obviously began to understand the power of prigozhin's army, which according to various estimates now has 50 plus thousand men, and this means that it is quite a magnificent force that cannot be ignored and, accordingly, when this force began to demonstrate all your ambitions are obvious and this reverse coup took place when it came to such management of some operations in the east of our country was withdrawn from they say that sometimes it gets to the point that members of wagner go on the attack, but they are no longer covered by the artillery, which is accountable to the ministry of defense. this so far indicates an obvious conflict between the ministry of defense of the ru

well, public execution is a big business that brings its organizer to yevgeny prigozhin, good dividendsower and money. that is why he came to donbas, that it is right to capture the industrial potential of donbas. well , he has been striving for this for a long time, even in 2014, in order to become even more influential. proximity to putin helps, of course genstein hates, of course the general staff hates prigozhin and so on, but prigozhin is putin's confidant so easily, they can't suddenly remove him. i willingly believe that gradually the role of prigozhin and the role of wagner's military police will be zeroed out. i believe this because, well, why don't they control the parts? so far, the kremlin leadership in its repressive policy is not against relying on the prisoners, and the more serious the crime they committed, the more they benefit from them, and in fact, it has nothing else to do they don't know how, and when they return to a peaceful life , they continue to do the same thing. i also know that after becoming living beings, there are 106 people who have remained alive. inde

recently, the owner of pvk wagner yevgeny prigozhin said that in the near future youtube will be bannedka, however, as russia is rapidly approaching north korea-level freedom of speech, youtube in russia will be closed in the near future, and those who violate the ban will be punished such threats were poured out to fellow citizens by the owner of the pvk wagner yevgeny prigozhin video holstering he called the information plague and those who are against the traitors of their people of the previous and future generations if they didn't break their teeth scumbags who pretend to participate but in fact interfere with us in a special operation, wear russian flags, nada, but place relatives abroad and go to dubai to play golf in the near future youtube will be closed and those who actively use it will be found and punished what made youtube so displeased? it turns out to be russophobia. prigozhin is sure that half of the content is directed against russia, and really, why does the federation need to know an alternative opinion to the kremlin ? youtube and this internet russians do n’t need

the brutally effective wagner private military company led by putin ally yevgeny prigozhin.ner, why are we effective and where does this effectiveness come from? first, we have been fighting for many years. probably we are the most experienced army in the world today. and ukraine's leadership is alarmed by wagner's success. cnn has exclusively obtained a military document outlines kyiv's assessment of the group. there are also purely military reasons for wagner's effectiveness, the document says, as the command structure and tactics currently employed are the only ones that are effective for the poorly trained mobilized troops that make up the majority of russian ground forces. ukraine's military filmed this video showing wagner's assault tactics using waves of fighters trying to overwhelm and encircle a ukrainian position. the tasks are set to be as primitive as possible to achieve the goal, many assault groups are deployed, and attacks can be carried out for a listening period of time without regard to losses, the document says. the first waves are often convicts, essentia

russian army that attacked druzhkivka, why did the leader of the private military campaign, wagner yevgeny prigozhin, publicly admit that he cannot capture bakhmut, what happened, what is the purpose of such a confession, and the central bank of russia offers to distribute subpoenas directly in russian banks and the security service of ukraine , meanwhile, announced the suspicion of the head of the russian smuggling bank lviv, iryna biolnyi, what are the chances that she will end up on the dock together with the war criminals, we will talk soon. the ministry of defense of russia officially confirmed that it was the russian army that struck the girlfriends in the donetsk region. they claim that they struck a cluster of military equipment near the railway station of the city and even reported the destruction of himers systems. on the evening of january 2, the russian military launched two missile strikes at the girlfriends one rocket hit the center of the city, another hit the village of yakovlivka. as a result, the altair ice arena was destroyed. the arena was the home ground of the donbas hockey clu

but he is a person that the wagner group chief yevgeny prigozhin has displayed publicly. and now suddenly the person who hasn't, you know, has sort of been his nemesis on this is getting this big promotion. what does this mean? >> it means a couple of things. one thing it mean that's by promoting the chief of staff of the army to the position of a field commander, essentially running the show, you can't any more call this a nonwar. you can't call it a special operation. it's a real war, and it's come out finally. second thing is that putin has been between two power -- he's in the middle of a power struggle. and prigozhin actually showed his teeth. he showed that he wants a piece of the action, wants to be in power. but putin ultimately had to take the side of the anti-prigozhin establishment, which is the ma military establishment team. and now you see both sides are now upset with this outcome. and prigozhin is going to do something more, i think, to claim power. >> so we should be watching that? >> yeah, in the next couple of days i think there will be more lashing out

the chief yevgeny prigozhin's influence with putin has been surging.this is what prigozhin is now telling convicted criminals who have finished their tours of duty with him about staying out of prison. listen for yourself. >> translator: don't drink a lot, don't use drugs, and don't rape any chicks. keep telling yourselves over and over not to end up in the slammer again. okay? i need you to come back to the war. so don't [ bleep ] up. okay? remember your oaths. >> might need them to come back? the wagner group has been relying on convicts to fight. just listen to this. "the washington post" has reported that 80% of wagner's fighters are convicts. so, let me give you that number a different way. 40,000 convicts out of an army for that private wagner group of 50,000. and those convicts have been dying fast and furiously. just listen to a wagner commander. as of tonight a former commander. as of tonight because he has now defected and he is now seeking asylum in norway. >> translator: every week, they sent more prisoners to us. we lost a lot of men. casu

kirby could you explain what crime was committed by pvk wagner sincerely yevgeny prigozhin it is unlikely prigozhin would be honored in washington with a personal answer if reporters hadn't asked about it at a briefing from the state department spokesman at my colleague from the white house appeared after the white house declassified new information about their activities in ukraine, wagner's group received additional support for north korea, this is not to mention the broader context of their destabilizing influence not only in ukraine, but also in africa, new declassified data of american intelligence show that last year in november, prigozhin purchased anti-personnel missiles from north korea, according to john kirby, their number is not capable of significantly to influence the course of the war, nevertheless, the white house is concerned that russia is increasingly finding support among the exiled states . earlier, according to american intelligence, the kremlin already bought artillery shells from pyongyang, and although north korea officially declared that it did not sell weapons t

some talking heads have challenged themselves as generals and marchers of the wagner company yevgeny prigozhin. this parallelism, which has existed in the russian army for quite a long time, when there are official commanders and there are commanders of private military companies who try to compete with the same shoigu gerasim or surovikin, what does this indicate, that is, putin specifically makes these two different fields and launches the leaders of these two different fields so that they compete with each other is this a common practice which also left from the soviet union where there was official politics and unofficial where there was an official economy where there was a shadow economy where there was an official government and where there was a government of crisis people with a criminal past who also created a parallel world and a parallel state that divides its own, this is one of the slogans of any autocrat, because putin took himself already as a tsarium and performs such tasks. in order for this plumb line not to be greater than his own weight, he begins to divide the army itself

after unsuccessful attempts to capture bakhmut, the owner of the private military company wagner yevgeny prigozhin lost power and authority in the eyes of putin, now he wants to shift the emphasis back to the regular russian army, the institute for the study of war reported according to analysts, the kremlin dictator appealed to him and army general serhiy surovikin so that the former would conquer as much territory as possible and the latter would morally break the ukrainians en masse with missile attacks, both attempts failed, because prigozhin's attempts to capture bakhmut ended, and surovikin's air campaign did nothing more than cause suffering to ukrainian civilians, using up most of the russian stockpile of high-precision missiles, american experts say the enemy continues to suffer significant losses, so the city hospital of the dnipro-rud zaporizhzhya region is full of wounded occupiers only recently, about 150 russian soldiers were delivered, it was reported at the general headquarters at the same time there noted that the majority of the hospital staff refused to cooperate with the occupi

in soledar on pro-russian telegram channels, and we ourselves, the founder of the wagner pvk yevgeny prigozhinhat soledar is allegedly captured by ukrainian as of this evening, the general staff refutes and denies this information. next, we will show you a video that was filmed by journalists of the british tv channel sky yesterday, january 12. it shows how is the fighting going on in soledar, look at the close combats, we have gunshot wounds, there are shrapnel wounds from grenades, and so on, the number of such wounds has increased, radio svoboda correspondent maryan kushnir maryana joined our broadcast. good evening, i will tell our viewers what you were in today soledar district in the direction of bakhmut, did you notice that the armed forces of ukraine are leaving the city? let's put it this way, the armed forces of ukraine are always moving. reports of all nns, this is a normal movement of troops that can be found regularly at the front . yes, i saw how various armored personnel carriers move, and suspicions are seen, i even saw journalists who also saw it, but to talk about the fact th

statement after announcing full control over soledar the owner of a private military company, wagner yevgeny prigozhin state and propagandists are trying to pretend that some part of our city is part of a city almost completely destroyed by the occupiers, as if it is some product of russia, they will and are already serving it to their society in order to support mobilization, to give hope to those who for aggression , the border service of ukraine released a video of how explosively our defenders meet the wagnerites in soledar together with the units of one of the mechanized brigades of the armed forces of ukraine restrained the enemy's offensive on soledar, ukrainian air reconnaissance exposed a group of enemy infantry, this was immediately known to the command post of the defense forces, aerial reconnaissance tracked the enemy in real time, when the wagnerites approached the position of the ukrainian defenders, they were covered by cross fire from large-caliber machine guns and finally, the invaders were hit by artillery, which was also corrected by the drone of the border guards. the battles for s

fighters continue to pose a threat to the armed forces of ukraine in close combat, and their leader yevgeny prigozhin says that american experts do not lack ambition either on the battlefield or in political plans. grew up, because wagner's group now takes part in the highest battles , for example, for soledar. became one of the fiercest critics of shoigu gerasimov and the official military leadership of the russian federation. there is a feeling that there is a split between the adventurer and wagner on the one hand, on their side also kadyrov and the chechen forces and the regular army of the ministry of defense and the general staff on the other. representatives of the elite , most of whom are inclined to more liberal and less hawkish views, he sees a vulnerability in putin's political position and uses this to increase his political popularity he sees this as a way to enrich himself by obtaining contracts and financial resources for his organization prigozhyn does not hide his illegal actions and grants pardons to prisoners, which legally in russia only the president can do, he publicly mocks the

actually, in this the power block that he can act better than another friend of putin yevgeny prigozhinust wanted to clarify and how many russians can those who are called to go there in the wave of mobilization or support putin how many of them can they have some and well how much can be told about our great successes well, won't the question arise in the end, what are we fighting for and why do we already have so many of these two, it's called ugruz 200 and the russians mostly, that is, they would be ready that somehow they would like to go after everyone for according to polls, the majority of russians would like to somehow end this war, and in fact, this means that they don't care what the war is, they don't care what 's going on in that solidar, that is, of course there are full-time propagandists and there are just a lot of people who sit in front of the tv, they don't understand anything else, they just don't ask - with simply different questions, therefore , you should not count on any public opinion of russians, on the one hand, they all fully support putin in their polls, supp

this is the man who runs them, yevgeny prigozhin, wanted by the fbi, a former convict and a close allyontracts and is often referred to as �*putin�*s chef'. here's prigozhin with his troops down in the tunnels beneath soledar, which they recently captured. and here he is recruiting convicts to serve on the front line, offering them a six—month contract in exchange for their freedom. but no one surrenders, he tells them, and deserters will be shot on sight. at the beginning, the wagner group was much more professional than russian army. they used to recruit special forces. now their main personnel are prisoners. but this man did desert. andre medvedev is a former wagner commander in ukraine. he claims to have witnessed war crimes there, including those who refuse to fight being shot as an example to others. incredibly, he managed to escape russia across this arctic border into norway in mid—january, being pursued by dogs and armed guards shooting at him. soon after that, the white house announced it was sanctioning the wagner group as a transnational criminal enterprise, a charge it den

"don't drink, don't use drugs or rape women." ukrainian military analyst oleksandr kovalenko says arming hardened criminals has created the risk of even more battlefield atrocities. "with those convicts, prigozhin can commit any crime he thinks necessary to win the battle," he said. "all he's done is build a blood business." already, he told us, they've seen an increase in war crimes in the areas where wagner is fighting. prigozhin has been outspoken in his criticism of senior russian military leaders and the losses on the battle field, including putin's newly appointed general in charge of the war, valery geronimov. norah. >> o'donnell: debora patta, thank you. as many as 20% of our military veterans from the wars in iraq and afghanistan suffer from p.t.s.d. but anyone who has been through a traumatic event can have p.t

according to analysts, the founder of the communist party of the soviet union, wagner yevgeny prigozhinoming more and more bold in his verbal attacks on the russian ministry of defense. on january 18, he criticized the ministry of defense's new instructions for the russian military in ukraine. because the latter began to set stricter requirements for the standards of care for the occupiers, in turn prigozhyn defended the occupiers who do not follow the standards of self-care in addition, putin's cook criticized officials detached from life, as well as the administration of the president, in turn, putin decided not to resort to censorship regarding such statements, according to military experts, the speech of the head of the kremlin in honor of the breakthrough of the blockade of leningrad by soviet troops showed that he remains unsure of his abilities significantly to influence the russian information space thank you dmytro vasylev - he is a political scientist, he joins our broadcast p dmytro greetings to you good night good night i congratulate you, i congratulate you, the confrontati

in russian, it is known that most mobilized precisely from of this russian city and now, as yevgeny prigozhin to their home in saratov. well, on the eve of the new year, the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, recorded an appeal for the russians, stating that our intelligence and the ministry of defense have information about a new wave of mobilization. which can begin either on christmas or immediately after their christmas after the seventh of january and recommended to the russians to avoid mobilization and leave the country it will be heard in russia and what attitude will there be to this new wave of mobilization, well, in light of the latest news, including from makiivka . well, in kherson oblast, in kherson oblast, there is such a village , chulakivka, there, too, the day before, the enemy suffered losses on december 31 as a result of also being hit by e- e hit by ukrainian long-range weapons, about 500 servicemen were injured and killed. i apologize, this happened on january 1, that is, first of all, the first day of the new year. russia is asking for him, you know, it i

actively storming the soledarna of donetsk region, the founder of wagner's communist party, yevgeny prigozhinoledar does not confirm that the city was taken by the ukrainian side, at least at this time, and emphasizes that the fighters of the armed forces of ukraine, who used to defend the city, meanwhile , the maxart technology company published satellite images that show the consequences of the battles in soledar. here you can see how the city looked at the beginning of august i what does soledar look like now, these are the scales of the battles for the city, the battles for soledar in donetsk region have been going on since may or the 22nd of the year and after the capture of severodonetsk and lysychansk of luhansk in july shelling and bombardment of the soledar region have intensified in recent weeks, the fighting in the city has intensified even more . russian mercenaries control part of the city, another part of the ukrainian army. well, here's a comment from the ministry of defense of ukraine: today the heaviest battles continue in the solodar region on the bakhmut direction, despite

in soledar lies in who will receive more laurels for him, the financier of the wagner group, yevgeny prigozhin, claims them, according to analysts of the institute for the study of war, putin's cook used the role wagnerites in capturing the soledar to raise their political authority and indirectly criticize the regular russian army against putin himself. putin does not agree with him. this way the conflict between the kremlin and the reconciled is increasing, according to analysts. until recently, putin received comments on the situation of the soledar, but after the information campaign prigozhina stated in an interview that everything is developing within the framework of the plan of the ministry of defense and the general staff, putin's statement was broadcast live on state television, probably a deliberate attempt to undermine prigozhin's influence in the russian information space, so experts believe kostyantyn moshovets, a military expert, joins our broadcast. kostyantyn good morning. good morning. around soledar and bakhmut, but i would like to understand if the situation develops like t

yevgeny prigozhin, which he actually spends on himself, but there is also another version of the bugnersthey were specially sent there as cannon fodder to reduce the influence of prigozhin himself, because the smaller his army of convicts, the smaller political weight all the more so that regular russian troops planned to enter the city after the mercenaries, and here a military version is already being proposed, for which reason they stormed every quarter, every street and every house. the key to understanding the russians' plan lies south of the soldier, this is the city of bakhmut. for almost 6 months, the occupiers have been trying to capture it but despite all efforts, they were not able to advance into the city head of security programs of the center for global studies strategy 21 pavlo lekiychuk is confident soledar russians regard the attempt as a step towards success to capture soledar is an attempt actually to loom over bakhmut from the north and, er, partially cut the supply routes and logistics lines, which both run until february 24, had up to 10,000 inhabitants, in fact, th

yevgeny prigozhin to get away with suing a british journalist bbc correspondent freen gardner found outraine wachner's troops in action in the east of ukraine claim that they are clearing the city from the nazis, these are private military contractors or mercenaries, they took part in the hottest battles in donbas, these are the teeth of war in such cities as bakhmut and soledar, their headquarters are located in st. petersburg, the same place where putin worked for the kdb, but their forward operating base in molkino is nearby of the russian military-intelligence base when the wagner group invaded crimea in 2014 they were without identification marks people called them little green men they were founded in 2014 apparently on the direct orders of putin and this was a way to send russian military to eastern ukraine while denying their presence and i would say that wagner in many ways represents the quintessence of the potyanite organization since then their activities became large-scale in 2015 they deployed in syria to support the regime president bashar al-assad was then successfully e

be american chebritan, about the fact that in the lord, i always call him a person regozhin yevgeny prigozhin financial interest in the personal interest in bahma and soledar, which seems to have salt and other productions there, before about six months ago, i read that he was also counting on deposits of shale gas, which are located in this area, and they gave him a search in those mines, hoping to find something there no well, it seems that he was given a mandate, you will conquer it, then one day you will extract salt, shale gas, other minerals. do you think there is a personal interest, well, financial interest, not in the plan that he wants, but there are russians, peace, peace brought but simply wants to improve his personal financial situation because well, what he was doing there, for example, in syria, he improved there, including his financial personal financial situation, and it’s just that the russian mobs simply do n’t even know about this, about the true intentions of their commanders and when i see this photo we took yesterday and yesterday , it turns out that it appeared today

. to put it mildly, she graduated because we know what their leader was putin's former cook yevgeny prigozhinserved these six months survived these six months and are returning home with all their criminal records cleared. let's see how prigozhin escorted his pupils in black bags . перхух первый первый yes, they worked because few people work for the fate of the bank, probably 20 will return, 90 will not work anymore, this life is 5 , you are counting ten, of course, we will return. nasyluet yes, there is no akurim, the police should treat you with respect. a day ago, he escorted the same wagnerites. as you correctly noted in the black bags. and these are the survivors, he escorts them. well, there is another part of the video where he says if there will be any problems, i will personally call the governor, but in view of this experience of the private military company wagner in the current war, the existence of some parallel army, the existence of some parallel command, the existence of a command that opposes the general to the headquarters of the minister of defense of the russian federatio

it's run by this man, yevgeny prigozhin, a close ally of russia's president vladimir putin.n russian state tv, he claimed to have completely taken the town. "ukrainians are probablyjust above us," they say. "let's go and find them." he's recently recruited convicts from russia's jails, offering them freedom for six months service. his take on the invasion was today undercut by russia's defence ministry, which reported ongoing battles in soledar. from the heart of the fighting, it's extremely difficult to verify claims from both sides. soledar and the nearby city bakhmut are more significant for russia, which is why they are throwing everything at it. so all we can say with any certainty is that minimal gains are coming with enormous costs. ukraine is adamant it's holding the line. 0ne soldier on the front tells us about the threat posed by the mercenaries. the wagner army has a little bit better equipment. yes, they have a new gun machine. they don't value lives, yes, of soldiers. kyiv has acknowledged difficulties, but it's accused moscow of manufacturing a victory. transla

an iron analyst, that in fact this lord, i always call him the parishioner of regozhin yevhen yevgeny prigozhinpreparing this army not for a war with ukraine, but for a further war for power inside russia itself. what do you think of this opinion stand in order to strengthen your own political positions already when the struggle for the throne begins, after the departure, so to speak, of the historical physiological or not physiological or forced departure of putin from this throne, i am asking for it personally, i am a large political unit and he actually runs a personal army, and by the way, there has been a struggle between our prime ministers for a long time, but now it is reaching a new phase of rotation, there is evidence that putin, i apologize , that the hotel will create its own separate army, and this is an indicator the fact that it is too soon, these poisonous spiders are eating each other and kotra will die from nothing, why can't it be that there is no one to blame for the slow loss and the war is in fact no longer a loss to the question only when it ends logically and it is not f

maria looks very beautiful here, the role of yevgeny prigozhin in putin's circle, where did this personm at the moment when he is the head of a private military company, in the past he was putin's cook, what kind of person is he, where did he come from and what is his role today he will play a role in this war and how close he really is to putin. i think that the fact that he is a cook is a little conditional, because i would rather say that he is putin's maître d'hotel or waiter. it all started long enough ago. a time when he, er, well, by and large, he was released after imprisonment . by the way, on very unattractive articles like this, and he constantly complained to the court when someone said about what exactly he was imprisoned for , but he er, well, if he thought that his sentences are not formulated precisely enough, therefore, eh i have to say that, unfortunately, instead of going to a normal school , one day it would be better if he studied history, then he would know where such paths end. he built his career on various compromising documents, that is, he organized not only t
