Voenkor: after Prigozhin’s speech, prisoners want to follow him to Wagner PMC
Many prisoners in Russian colonies want to enroll in the Wagner PMC because they trust the words of Yevgeny Prigozhin and know about the reputation of his organization. Told about this in your Telegram channel military blogger and fighter of the Vostok battalion Vladlen Tatarsky.
A video recording in which a man resembling St. Petersburg businessman Prigozhin explains the conditions and rules of service in the Wagner PMC in a colony in Mari El was widely circulated on the Internet and motivated many prisoners.
“They are not eager to simply become volunteers or join penal battalions,” Tatarsky explained. “The prisoners are eager precisely because it’s Wagner.” Where is Prigozhin, who speaks words that they understand and whom they are ready to believe.”
Ранее стало известно, that after the appearance of the video in many colonies across the country, queues lined up of those who wanted to enroll in the ranks of the “Wagnerites.”
According to publicist Andrei Rost, it is understandable that prisoners are ready to trust Yevgeny Prigozhin, but not other people who could offer them to participate in a special operation in exchange for a reduction in their prison term.
“Watch Prigozhin’s speech. He honestly explains all the difficulties and the situation. That’s why prisoners are ready to follow someone like Prigozhin to the front. They don’t want to go for the Ministry of Defense. And the PMCs are ready,” Rost said. “They understand that they can trust him, he doesn’t sugarcoat the situation, but he won’t abandon them.”
According to media reports, during the special operation in the Donbass, fighters of the Wagner PMC repeatedly achieved success in the most difficult areas - in particular, they were able to break through the enemy’s layered defenses in the Donbass, and then take the settlements of Klinovoye, Pokrovskoye and Kodemu, which were defended by large forces. They are currently developing an offensive against Bakhmut.
