‘Doomed’ Yevgeny Prigozhin didn’t want to topple Putin, his mother says
Sunday Times UK ^ | 8/24/2025 | Antonia Langford

The Wagner group mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin looked “doomed” in the days before his death after an aborted rebellion against Russia’s military leadership, his mother has said.

In the first interview with a close family member since the warlord’s death in August 2023, Violetta Prigozhina, 85, said that she had tried to dissuade her son from marching on Moscow and revealed that the authorities have still not told her what caused his death.

Prigozhina told the Russian outlet Fontanka that she had warned her son: “Zhenya, only people on the internet will support you. No one will go with you. People aren’t like that now. No one will come out to the square.”

-snip-

He played a central role in Russia’s war against Ukraine, deploying mercenaries from his private military contractor to some of the conflict’s fiercest battles and recruiting from prisons to bulk up the front line.

He led Russia’s onslaught to capture Bakhmut, a key Donbas town, but became increasingly embittered by decision-making in the higher ranks of the regular military.

Ultimately, it sounded like Yevgeny Prigozhin did not want to fight the war in Ukraine.

"To be, or not to be, that is the question"

Quite Shakespearean.

They are definitely hurting donations with their endless spamming that no one reads or cares about.

Pays well I guess, they are clearly funded by Soros/globalist puppeteers..

He may have been his best general at one time. But, his agenda changed - so he was no longer his best general after that.

Not our monkeys, not our circus. The euro-weekiens caused this, let them pay for it.

Unless you are a globalist/Biden crime family type and have a major $$$ interest in it.

They are paying for it now.

The Europeans are buying the weapons from us. Then they'll send them to Ukraine.

“””””globalist/Biden crime family type and have a major $$$ interest in it.”””””

You think that of President Trump?

The United States supports Ukraine in this war, it was supporting them before the invasion and supports them now, American national defense cannot and isn’t, ignoring the largest European war since WWII and launched by our enemy Russia, who has now brought North Korea into the European war.

Russia is of great interest to America and the focus of much or most of our national defense, and our interest in the North Korean Army fighting in Europe alongside Russia doesn’t need to be explained.
