A statement from the Russian Volunteer Corps’ Commander about the current events happening in the Russian Federation’s military leadership.
Evgeniy Prigozhin started as a mysterious individual, a “Putin’s cook”, and over the past year he became an independent political figure. This war became a trampoline for the “Concord group’s” owner: he has become a big source of inspiration for news and TV-shows. Heated speeches, skirmishes and sometimes accusations towards the Ministry of Defence will be remembered by everyone.
Recently, Prigozhin even did somewhat of a pre-electoral campaign. I think that even though we are on the opposite sides in this war and do not share views about Russian Federation’s future, believe it or not, but I would call him a Russian patriot. And I’m not being sarcastic or ironic. The pressure among the Russian Federation’s High Officials was growing, and sanctions and defeats on the battlefield intensified the process of “rotting and decaying”.
And so now we have an ambitious, with all guns blazing and popular among people and military personnel patriot, who also happens to possess his own private army. And we have a population that has been demoralized by this bloody war and indecisive political government. We’re getting ready!
