Yevgeny Prigozhin in a bomber over Ukraine

Helmet and pilot’s mask on the face, Evguénie Prigojine appears as a warrior. The boss of the Russian paramilitary group Wagner released a video on Monday of himself aboard what he said was a Su-24 bomber returning from a bombing raid on Bakhmout, the epicenter of fighting in eastern Ukraine .

In this video, a night landscape can be seen through the window as the aircraft lands. “We landed, we bombed Bakhmout”, launched the sulphurous businessman who became a warlord in this short video broadcast on Telegram by his press service.

Yevgeny Prigojine also challenged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying he would board a MiG-29 fighter on Tuesday. “If you want, we will meet in heaven. If your device takes over, you recover [Bakhmout]otherwise we will go to [fleuve] Dnieper,” he says.

“Terrorist Organization”

This video is broadcast the day the Ukrainian Parliament passed a resolution describing the Wagner group as a “terrorist organization”, whose mercenaries fight on the front line alongside the Russian army. “We are preparing to destroy Wagner as a component of international terrorism,” Ukrainian presidential administration chief Andriy Yermak said on Telegram.

Ukrainian deputies “also adopted a request to international organizations and parliaments regarding the recognition of Russian private military companies as terrorist organizations,” said David Arakhamia, head of the presidential faction in parliament.
