Press service " “Concorde” published the response of the owner of the company Yevgeniy Prigozhin to the question about the alleged recruitment of prisoners from the Kuzbass colonies to the Wagner PMC. In particular, Prigozhin was asked whether he had really recently flown to the region where the workers from Kuzbass were located who had been selected for the PMC, and whether there were among them those who had already “distinguished themselves”.
Instead of a verbal answer provided Prigozhin with a video showing a dozen and a half men of various ages in military uniforms and carrying weapons.
“Great, boys. We are from Kuzbass. IK-29. We're training right now,” says one of the men in the video.
He also says, “Let's go to battle soon <…> Mothers, don't worry, let your sons go.”
“We will get medals soon, 100%,” – the man finishes speaking.
