Prigozhin Makes First Speech in Belarus to Crowds of Wagner Fighters

During his first public appearance and speech since the mutiny last month, Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin addressed crowds of Wagner fighters at their new base in Belarus, during which he pledged to back the Belarusian military in combat.

Prigozhin has reappeared, in an undated video purportedly shot near Mogilev, Belarus, where Wagner fighters are relocating post-mutiny. Hard to tell but sounds like him (video was released on his TG channel). "Welcome to hell!" he says mid-way through. pic.twitter.com/ZXa48vqydb

“We have fought enough. We did a lot for Russia. What is going on now on the front is an embarrassment of which we do not need to be a part of,” Prigozhin said in a video posted to his personal Telegram.

“And we are waiting until the moment that we have full privacy of our program. Because of this, we have made a decision that we will remain in Belarus for some time.”

“During this time, I am certain of it, we will make the Belarusian army, the 2nd in the world. And if necessary, we will march after them. I want to ask everyone to pay max attention to how the Belarusians not only greet us as heroes but as brothers.”

Prigozhin then goes on to joke about that “The local girls at the grocery stores are trembling with excitement that we are here,” further warning his fighters to “being careful to not upset anyone, we will treat everyone (in Belarus) in return as brothers.”

“We will continue to get ready and prepare for new deployments to Africa when we are certain we will not be set up to in-fight amongst ourselves,” he added.

Prigozhin then turns it over to a man who he described as “the commander that gave us the name “Wagner”,” which is most likely Dmitry Valerievich Utkin (call sign “Wagner”), although it is hard to exactly tell in the video.

The man says “You have done much work. Because of what you all have done, the name “Wagner” is known by the whole world,” further stating that “This is not the end, this is just the beginning. The largest job in the world will begin soon!… welcome to hell!”

The World according to the Daily Mail

Yevgeny Prigozhin ‘is seen welcoming his fighters to Belarus and telling them the situation on the Ukraine frontline is a ‘disgrace’ that Wagner should not take part in’ – but the video is suspiciously dark…

The video was apparently filmed at the Tsel military base in southern Belarus

This is in Russian media but not in the Duran

The head of the Wagner PMC, Prigozhin, urged the Wagnerites to quiet down in Belarus and promises to return to the NVO, speaking in full

Together with Yevgeny Prigozhin, PMC commander Dmitry Utkin, known as Wagner, spoke to thousands of fighters.

For almost a month, the head of a private military company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, did not publish any appeals or speeches. On July 19 , Prigozhin’s speech to several thousand fighters on the territory of Belarus appeared on a telegram channel associated with Wagner . Together with the businessman, PMC commander Dmitry Utkin spoke, after whom the company was named.

The footage shows Yevgeny Prigozhin standing with the flag of a private military company. The entrepreneur said that the PMC fighters who took part in the special military operation accomplished a great feat and did a lot for Russia. According to the entrepreneur, the Wagnerites do not need to take part in the battles, since they need to prepare and avoid shame.

“We will be here in Belarus for some time,” Prigozhin said.

During this time, Yevgeny Prigozhin plans not only to give his fighters time to prepare, but also to make the Belarusian army the second in the world. The businessman noticed that the Belarusians greeted Wagner not only as heroes, but also as brothers. Therefore, PMCs must answer the same brothers.

“They say the local girls are whispering in the stores that the Wagners have arrived.

Евгений Пригожин заявил, что следующим этапом для бойцов станет Африка, однако не исключено, что они вернутся на СВО. Для этого нужно набраться опыта.

Together with Yevgeny Prigozhin, Dmitry Utkin, aka Wagner, also spoke to the fighters. The Wagnerites greeted the commander with applause and cheers.

“I am that same Wagner. Thanks for your work. Thanks to you, the name of PMC “Wagner” thundered all over the world. This is not the end. This is just the beginning of the biggest work that will be carried out very soon. Welcome to hell.”

At the end of the speech, one of the fighters turned to Utkin. The Wagnerian asked the commander if they would continue to fight the nationalists. Utkin, in turn, confirmed that the PMC will continue to “extinguish LGBT people around the world.”

Recall that Yevgeny Prigozhin was supposed to leave for Belarus after the armed rebellion committed by the Wagner PMC on the night of June 23-24, 2023. The corresponding decision was made by Prigozhin together with Alexander Lukashenko. For a long time, the entrepreneur was in Russia, but in recent weeks, eyewitnesses have increasingly noticed columns with the numbers of Belarus, LPR and DPR moving towards the union republic. Earlier, information appeared on the Web that Prigozhin went to Belarus by plane.

This channel purports to be exposing Russian disinformation. However, it reveals material from Russian TV that we would not see otherwise.

It appears to me that even Putin can’t control Prigozhin.
