Russia's Wagner Group sends bloodied sledgehammer to EU
Telegraph.co.uk ^ | 11/24/22 | James Kilner & James Crisp

Russia's Wagner Group mercenaries have sent a "bloodied" sledgehammer in a violin case to the European Parliament after members started proceedings to label them as terrorists.

Sledgehammers have become an unofficial symbol of the Kremlin-linked group because its fighters have used them to kill during overseas missions.

In a video posted on one of its Telegram channels, a suited lawyer working for Wagner Group carries a violin case into a bare room and places it on a table.

He lifts the lid of the violin case, showing off a highly polished sledgehammer. The head has been engraved with Wagner's logo and the handle has been dabbed with red paint to depict blood.

If the EU was smart, it would track down that lawyer and kill him. More than one can play that game.

“Russia is about to unleash hell over the next few weeks.”

Any day now Marshal Georgy Zhukov will launch his long awaited counter offensive using the new troops from Siberian and Far Eastern Military Districts. For glorious victory.

Really. If there’s blood on the handle but the head is shiny clean, you’re doing it wrong.

Not from Siberia, Prigozhin made a very interesting claim today.


(Google translation)

Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin announced today, November 25, that the Wagner PMC has a British battalion commanded by a US citizen, a former Marine Corps general.

Answering a question from the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, he confirmed that Finnish citizens were fighting in the ranks of Wagner.

“I have already commented that there are a sufficient number of fighters of foreign origin, including in response to a request from the Czech Telegram channel neČT24, I mentioned the legendary “Czech Švejk Battalion”. There are not very many Finnish citizens in the Wagner PMC, about 20 people. But for obvious reasons, I can not give accurate information about them. As a rule, these are highly qualified specialists, very ideological and motivated. I have a very good opinion about the Finns on the battlefield, ”said Prigozhin.
As the businessman emphasized, “the Finns are fighting in the British battalion (as part of the Wagner PMC), the commander of which is a US citizen, a former general of the Marine Corps.”

Are we sure this isn’t the hammer Paul Pelosi and his “friend David” were tussling over?

If he has high opinions of the Finns, I guess he won’t be recommending ground action in that direction.

Not bothered about Wagner having Brits in it - in every country you’ll have mercs. Their motivation is the main concern; are they in it for the money or the ideology. A highly trained Wagner asset with no loyalty to the organisation could be handy if they aren’t getting paid on time.

The resident KGB trolls on here do the same.

Probably the most beautiful sledgehammer I’ve seen - and I’ve never seen one with its own case.

Name names, or it's a lie. And the idea that it would put that person at risk isn't an excuse, because if it were true, our intelligence folk would know who it is.

Not that many generals in the Marine Corps.
