In a sequence of audio messages on his official Telegram channel, Prigozhin stated the “evil” of the Russian army management “must be stopped,” including: “Those who destroyed our lads, who destroyed the lives of many tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, will be punished. I ask that no one offer resistance.”
