Wagner Chief Says Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Unjustified -
Russia did not face an imminent security threat to justify its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Yevgeny #Prigozhin, the founder of Russia’s #Wagner mercenary outfit, said in a bombshell video posted on social media Friday.

“The Russian Defense Ministry is #deceiving the public and the president,” he added.
