Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin appeared on the video greeting his fighters in Belarus and telling them that for the time being they would no longer participate in the war in Ukraine.
In a video whose authenticity Reuters it is impossible to check, you can hear how a man in a voice reminiscent of Prigozhin’s voice greets his people. The video was reposted on Telegram.
“Welcome, guys… Welcome to the Belarusian land,” Prigozhin said. “We fought with honor,” Prigogine said. “They have done a lot for Russia. What is happening at the front is a disgrace in which we do not need to interfere, ”he added.
Group commander Wagner told his men to behave well with the locals and orders them to train the Belarusian army and gather forces for a “new campaign in Africa”.
“Perhaps we will return to the special operation in Ukraine when we are sure that we will not be forced to embarrass ourselves,” Prigozhin said.
After that, a man who introduced himself as Dmitry Utkin, one of the founders of Wagner, spoke to the men.
“This is not the end. This is just the beginning of the greatest work in the world that will be done very soon,” Utkin said before switching to English. And welcome to hell!
