 Wagner group leader calls on Putin to declare end of war. Yevgeny Prigozin, leader of the Wagner group, asks the Russian authorities to declare the end of the war and concentrate on gaining a foothold in the occupied territories of Ukraine. For the authorities of the Russian Federation and for society as a whole, it is necessary to put some kind of bold full stop in the special military operation. The ideal option is to announce the end of the special military operation to inform everyone that Russia has achieved the results that it planned and in a sense, we have really achieved them. We have ground a huge number of soldiers of the armed forces of Ukraine and can report to ourselves that our task has been completed. Theoretically, Russia has already received this full stop by destroying a large part of the active male population of Ukraine by intimidating another part of it that has fled to Europe. Russia has cut off the Azov Sea and a large chunk of the Black Sea, seized a fat chunk of Ukraine's territory and created a land corridor to Crimea, he added. Prigozin claims that Russia can only gain a firm foothold, cling to the territories that already exist. At the same time, Prigozin believes that there is one problem that the war caused. If earlier Ukraine was part of former Russia, now it is an absolutely national oriented state. The militant wrote an entire article where he reflects on the importance of Bakhmut, the leak of Pentagon documents and the upcoming offensive of the armed forces. Prigozin is against any negotiations with Ukraine and wants the forces of Russia and Ukraine to meet in battle.
