Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin blamed the Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu for the 'murder of tens of thousands of Russian citizens.'
"...Gerasimov and Shoigu...must be held responsible for the genocide of the Russian people, the murder of tens of thousands of Russian citizens and the transfer of Russian territories to the enemy," Prigozhin wrote on Telegram."Moreover, the transfer is deliberate, just like the murder of Russian citizens and genocide. Shoigu has a genocide on a national basis."
Russia continues to fight Ukraine in a war that was launched last February and extended to major cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Odesa, and Bakhmut. Ukraine recently launched its counteroffensive, which has been bolstered by the West, to take back its territories. There is still no end to the war in sight, but Western nations, including NATO members, continue to provide military aid to the war-torn country.
