In a lengthy interview on Telegram, Prigozhin called Volodymyr Zelensky’s army one of the best on the planet.
“She has an amazing level of organization, an amazing level of training, an amazing level of intelligence and several types of armament. Generally they [l’armée ukrainienne] work with all types of equipment: Soviet, NATO, everything – with great success,” he says in an exchange with a war correspondent.
“The special military operation was launched to de-Nazify [l’Ukraine]. We have made Ukraine a nation known all over the world,” he said.
Netizens are surprised to see the Russian entrepreneur make these comments.
“Looks like he’s really impressed [par l’armée ukrainienne].”
“His days are numbered.”
Keep in mind that the leader of Wagner plans to withdraw his troops from Bakhmout no later than June 1 to take a “rest”. Regular Russian army troops should take over, he said.
