The leader of the Russian mercenary group Wagner has unleashed an explosive tirade of insults against Vladimir Putin’s cronies after Moscow was attacked this morning by suspected Ukrainian suicide bombers.
In a furious 70-second rant, a ruthless Yevgeny Prigozhin shouted vulgar insults at Russia’s defense which he described as “smelly scumbags” and “b*******”.
The Wagner boss said he was “deeply outraged” by Putin’s troops doing “fuck everything” to prevent explosive drones from raining down on the Russian capital this morning. Soon after, Putin claimed that Moscow’s air defense system was working “satisfactorily”.
Known for his rude rants, Prigozhin, who handed Bakhmut over to the Russian military last week, was translated to shouts: “Smelly scumbags!” What are you doing? Get your ass off the desks you were put in to protect this country.
“You are the Ministry of Defense. You have done everything to move forward. Why the hell do you allow these drones to fly to Moscow? Who gives as *** that they fly to your houses on Rublyovka! Let your houses burn.

“And what should ordinary people do when drones loaded with explosives crash into their windows?” So, as a citizen, I am deeply outraged that these scum sit quietly with their fat asses smeared in expensive creams.
“And that’s why I think people have every right to ask them these questions, these b*******s.
“But I have already warned many times about this, but no one wants to listen. Because I’m angry and bother bureaucrats who have a good life.
Its stunning collapse comes after several buildings in the wealthy Moscow suburbs were damaged by suspected Ukrainian suicide drones, just hours after Putin unleashed a fresh volley of strikes on Kiev.
Workers were pictured repairing damaged buildings as smoke billowed from the Russian capital in the background.
A deluded Putin and his cronies today accused Ukraine of trying to ‘scare’ Russians with their ‘increasingly reckless behaviour’ after Moscow came under fire.
Seemingly forgetting that Russia has unleashed a series of deadly airstrikes on Ukrainian cities that have killed thousands over the past 15 months, Putin claimed that Kiev had chosen the “path of trying to scare Russian citizens “.
The delirious Russian despot admitted there was “work to be done” on Moscow’s air defense system, a sign of his growing frustration with Russian defences.
“Moscow’s air defense system has worked normally, satisfactorily, although there is work to be done,” Putin told Russian television.

The air defenses around Moscow – which, as the capital of the world’s largest nuclear power, is already protected by an extensive early warning system – would thus be strengthened, Putin said.
A Ukrainian presidential aide denied that Kyiv was directly involved in the attack on Moscow, but said Ukraine enjoyed watching the events and was planning more to come.
“Of course, we are delighted to observe and predict an increase in the number of attacks. But of course, we have nothing directly to do with it,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said.
A suicide drone exploded in a mushroom cloud near the village of Usovo, which is just down the road from Putin’s official residence in Novo-Ogaryovo, outside the capital.
‘[Putin’s residence] would be within earshot of the blast,” one resident said.

In the city, explosive drones hit buildings on Leninsky Prospect and Profsoyuznaya Street about 10 km from central Moscow, injuring several residents and damaging buildings.
Ukraine had no immediate comment on the attack, which would be one of its deepest and boldest strikes against Russia since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine there. is over 15 months old.
It is the second time Moscow has come under attack this month after the Kremlin fell victim to a suicide drone attack – a move Russia has described as an “assassination attempt” on its leader.
Moscow has remained largely calm since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine last February, although around 220,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in the war.
