Prigozhin had previously criticized the country’s military leadership for its failures in the war in Ukraine.
The head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, considered that 200 of the 10,000 Russian generals should be sent to Ukraine and placed on the front lines.
“These generals should try running in body armor on the front lines,” Prigozhin told the media.
Prigozhin had previously criticized the country’s military leadership for its failures in the war in Ukraine.
And stressing “the need to restore the death penalty in Russia,” Prigozhin considered that “employees who have anything to do with the Russian operation in Ukraine (the Russian name for the invasion of Ukraine), even if they are civilians, should be considered members of the army.”
He added, “The official must understand that he will either go there and perform the tasks, if necessary, or he will be shot.”
