They do this to encourage Ukraine into the offensive which is destined to fail.
“Appear weak when you are strong” – Sun Tzu, required reading in all Russian military schools
Cannot be so. It is insubordination, and sends a disturbing message ot the Russian public.
There is no caviar and champagne in the trenches. Prigo is war tired.
Prigogin is right. The Russian military can get of their bum and supply his ammo need.
Alex and Alexander “give me a break”.
The Wagner situation is very similar to the position of the French Foreign Legion in the 20th century. The Legion were given all the worst jobs and the politically sensitive jobs and, because they were predominantly made up of foreigners, they were regarded as mercenaries. Their commanders frequently clashed with the regular French Army (and still are) but the French Army cannot function without the Legion specialists. Wagner has become like Russia’s Foreign Legion. The Donbass has become Russia’s Indo China and they need to relieve the men who have become the ‘battering ram’.
The similarity you draw, falls short because these are Russian nationals serving under the Russian Flag, directed for military operations only at the behest of political-military decision-making in Russia. Recruited from prisons in exchange for a pardon, in order to serve their country, which is also a rehabilitation move by the society as a whole, including the the recruits family. Their service will go on their CV. As for being used as ‘a battering ram’, they certainly have been used in close combat in towns and cities. That is to be expected, because otherwise they could be used to peel… Read more »
I agree that the majority of Wagner personnel are Russian but they do employ foreign mercenaries as well and they do not just recruit from prisons.
I agree with you gentlemen concerning Prigozhin; it is insubordination. He also appears or have been acting as if the Wagner group is his sole responsibility, or belongs to him. It cannot be so.

For that to go forward it had to be with the assent and in according to the approval of the Military Command as well as the departments of Justice and politicians. In short, the Wagner group is not a private military group at all, but a public… Read more »
Prigizhin may be the frontsman for recruitment to Wagner group, He cannot be their founder, as is commonly reported, as it took the Russian society to raise the Wagner force. Was it his original idea? I doubt it, but he may have been the man to pursue it, once he received the idea, or was put up to it.. It would be ideal for a civilian to pursue such an idea, rather than a Russian official as military or from the departments of Justice. That is why a rich man was recruited to pursue it – having the time and… Read more »
aye; nonetheless no doubt rigozhin has tried everything else before getting to this point of desperation.
Prig is a jew looking to further his political career. He is a gonner as far as Wagner is concerned.
Who else do we know who’s privatized war, yes the USA, and how has that gone for life on earth. This Prig just another billionaire pretending worry about his heritage his destiny. He could always emigrate to the zionist state & feel at home
I cannot help to think that this has the possibility of being purposely staged.
Seems so awkwardly out of place.
Is this guy’s ego SO big?! Can be and seems so totally implausible but only time will tell. Just doesn’t seem real.
Maybe he does have shell shock and is cracking.
are these little faggots so disturbed to see dead bodies in a video? after all their hate and war mongering?
