The head of the Russian mercenary organization Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin accused on Wednesday (18/1) Kremlin officials for treason. He was pretending to be with (the president of Russia) Putinbut they actually hindered military operations, looking forward to a quick end (of the war) so they can satisfy US orders in her eventual defeat of RussiaPrigozhin claimed.
The founder of Wagner, whose mercenaries are fighting alongside the Russian army in Ukraine, he also claimed that Moscow would soon impose a ban on the YouTube platformas he has repeatedly requested.
“YouTube is a scourge for information in our time”Prigozhin emphasized.
So far, the popular social networking platform has not been banned in Russia – unlike Twitter, Instagram and Facebook – “because there are many officials (in the Kremlin) who think of only one thing: that Russia must lose the war as soon as possible,” he claimed.
It’s about “traitors of the people and their country”Prigozhin said and added that he would “Wagner’s sledgehammer” awaits them, referring to a recent video purportedly showing the killing of a mercenary who deserted. According to Wagner, the mercenary had voluntarily surrendered to Ukrainian forces, but then returned to Russia, where he was beaten to death with a sledgehammer.
The German News Agency (dpa) points out that for many Russians who express discomfort with the manipulation of public opinion through public television propaganda, YouTube is one of the last imgs of free access to a wide range of information imgs.
