The video was recorded in an African country. This was announced on Monday evening by the “Grey Zone” telegram channel, which is close to the Wagner group of mercenaries. More detailed information was not given. The location of the recording might not be independently verified.
“We work. The temperature is more than 50 degrees, »says Prigozhin in the video. Then he explains that his Wagner troupe is carrying out reconnaissance work.
And adds: “It makes Russia even bigger on all continents. And Africa even freer.” Notorious for their brutality, Russian fighters are active in several African countries.
For many months, Prigozhin’s mercenaries had fought alongside the regular Russian army in the Ukraine war that had been going on since February 2022. At the end of June, out of frustration at what he saw as the ineffective Russian military leadership, Prigozhin mobilized his men for a march on Moscow, which he stopped once more a few hours later following negotiations.
The Kremlin promised Prigozhin impunity on condition that he emigrate to neighboring Belarus.
A little later, however, the 62-year-old reappeared in Russia – on the sidelines of the Africa summit in St. Petersburg at the end of July. There he showed himself with a representative from the Central African Republic.
Recently there has also been concern that West African Niger might now be moving closer to Russia following the recent military coup. Prigozhin had welcomed the overthrow in Niger.
