One of the commanders of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, Army General Sergei Surovikin addressed the commanders and fighters of the private military company Wagner in connection with the latest statements of its founder Yevgeny Prigozhin. The recording was published by VGTRK reporter Andrey Rudenko.
Surovikin noted that he had just arrived from the front line, where soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces are carrying out combat missions.
“Together with you, we have gone through a difficult difficult path. We fought together, took risks, suffered losses, won together. We are of the same blood. We are warriors,” he said.
The army general also called on the “Wagnerites” to stop, reminding that the Kiev regime is waiting for the situation inside Russia to deteriorate. He urged us not to “play into the hands of the enemy in these difficult times for the country.”
“Before it is too late, it is necessary and necessary to obey the will and order of the popularly elected president. Halt the columns, return them to permanent deployment points. Solve all problems only peacefully under the leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief,” he said.
Previously, the Center for Public Relations of the Federal Security Service of Russia in its message urged the fighters of private military companies to they disobeyed the orders of PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin and also detained him. It was announced that Prigozhin was being prosecuted under Article 279 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for organizing an armed uprising. As part of the case, it is planned that Prigozhin's actions will be properly assessed legally. Article 279 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation stipulates a punishment in the form of imprisonment for 12 to 20 years.
The Russian Ministry of Defense previously said that false information about the attack on the Wagner PMC camp was spread on social networks on behalf of Prigozhin. The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin is aware of the situation and the necessary measures are being taken. The National Anti-Terrorism Committee of the Russian Federation said on Friday evening, June 23, that the accusations spread in the name of Yevgeny Prigozhin have no basis.
