Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Russia’s Wagner mercenary outfit, said in a bombshell video that Russia did not face an imminent security threat to justify its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Moscow Times reports.
Said Prigozhin: “The Armed Forces of Ukraine were not going to attack Russia with the NATO bloc. The Russian Defense Ministry is deceiving the public and the president.”
