The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin on Tuesday questioned the Kremlin’s ability to defend the country as Ukraine prepares for a spring offensive.
“Why is the state not able to defend its country?” Prigozhin said in a scathing video, adding that Ukraine was hitting Russian border regions “successfully”.
He said Russian soldiers were “fleeing” the army because the defence ministry was “instead of fighting, scheming all the time.”
