‘We Are Patriots Of Our Homeland. We Won’t Surrender To You’ – Prigozhin Tells Putin

He says no Wagner soldiers plan to turn themselves in on the president’s orders.

Russians don’t want the country to live any longer with corruption, lies and bureaucracy, says Mr Prigozhin.

New statement by Prigozhin: “The President was deeply mistaken about the betrayal of the homeland; we are patriots of our homeland. We fought and continue to fight. All the fighters of Wagner PMC. No one is going to surrender at the request of the President, Federal Security Service or anyone else, because we do not want the country to continue to live in corruption, deceit and bureaucracy.

When we were fighting in Africa, we were told we needed Africa and after that it was abandoned because they stole all the money that was supposed to help. When we were told we were at war with Ukraine, we went and fought.

But it turned out that ammunition, armaments, the money that was intended for this purpose was also stolen. And the officials are sitting, saving them for themselves, just for the case that has happened today, when someone goes to Moscow.

Now they are not saving anything. They are hitting with planes and helicopters the columns where peaceful people are moving. They are hitting, because they are missing the targets, they are hitting wherever they can. We are patriots. And those who oppose us today are those who have gathered around the scum”.

His latest message of defiance comes after Vladimir Putin accused him of leading an armed mutiny in a public address this morning.
