Prigozhin is an enemy. The enemy who is cunning, cruel and insidious. He wants to kill us

Regarding Prigozhin's resonant interview. First and foremost, Prigozhin is not a friend, ally, or sympathizer. He is an enemy. He is a cynical, ruthless, cruel and insidious enemy

client/title.list_title

All his words and sharp statements against the Russian army should be viewed through this prism: the words of an enemy who wants to kill you.

Prigozhin's statement that Ukraine did not threaten Russia in any way, and that Shoigu unleashed the war was not aimed at Russians, as some "experts" were quick to say, and does not indicate a willingness to surrender.

I specifically looked through the public accounts of the military bloggers generously fed by Prigozhin. None of them posted this interview. This means that Prigozhin's words are not directed at Russians, but at you and me.

“Why? If we don't forget that Prigozhin is an enemy, I see only one goal. To create the illusion in Ukraine that there are Russians with whom we can negotiate. And then create a demand for negotiations in Ukraine.”

To create circumstances so that people in Ukraine demand negotiations from Zelenskyy. There is no such demand now. And the only acceptable way out of the war for Muscovy is negotiations, in which they will deceive Ukraine, as they have done a million times before, and secure the seized territories and lift Western sanctions.

That's why Prigozhin has long sounded pleasant to the Ukrainian ear and has been telling the truth, that the Russians are suffering defeats and significant losses. That is why he is so eager to lull Ukrainians with lies about himself as a not so bad enemy.

It is important to prevent the enemy from gaining trust and imposing his ideas on Ukrainians. The peace talks that Prigozhin is promoting are unacceptable without the return of all Ukrainian territories, including Crimea and Donbas, the extradition of war criminals, the payment of reparations, and the demilitarization of Muscovy.

Prigozhin is an enemy. The enemy who is cunning, cruel and insidious. He wants to kill us. Do not forget this.
