as his private mercenary army seemed poised to try to topple Vladimir Putin’s regime.
“It’s 7:30 am and we’ve taken Rostov’s military objects under our control including an airfield. The jets which are leaving for battle are moving as scheduled,” he said, jabbing his finger in the air every so often for emphasis. “There are no issues. Medical planes are taking off… We’ve taken it all under control.”
Prigozhin seemed to want to assure viewers that his army was not doing anything to hurt the Russian war effort against Ukraine and called out what he said was a badly-run military campaign replete with lies about what was really going on. “Vast frontline territories have been lost,” he added. “There are three to four more soldiers being killed compared to what is being reported. What is reported is 10 times more compared to what is being said on TV. We have daily losses of up to 1,000 people that include those killed, those missing, and those injured, and those who don’t choose not to fight not because they are cowards but because they don’t have supplies and a command structure.
