  2. #HellsArmy”: New Film Tracks #Russia’s #WagnerGroup & Rise of #MercenaryArmies

    June 12, 2026

    "We speak with Oscar-nominated filmmaker #RickRowley about his new documentary, Hell’s Army. The film tracks the Wagner Group, the notorious Russian mercenary army that has fought in #Ukraine and other parts of the world. The group’s founder, #YevgenyPrigozhin, was a confidant to Putin until a failed 2023 mutiny against the government. He died in a suspicious plane crash two months later.

    " 'We realized that he could be killed, the leader of this army could be killed, but its model continues,' says Rowley. 'Around the world, #oligarchs are turning to mercenary armies, and it’s a scourge that needs to be stopped.'

    "Hell’s Army has its North American premiere Friday in Washington, D.C."

  7. The most dangerous moment in dealing with the Kremlin is when #Putin opens his mouth.

    He guaranteed #Prigozhin’s safety weeks before blowing him out of the sky; promised Ukraine peace days before attacking.

    🧵 We may have to deal with him, but we must never trust him [1/13]

    Meanwhile in Russian Media…

    “Publications about the surviving founder of the Wagner PMC, #Prigozhin, have appeared online.”

    Wait for it…

  9. #Russian #CoastGuard boat flying Wagner flag spotted near Estonia

    #Estonia suggested that the display of a symbol of the mercenary group that rebelled against the Kremlin two years ago “confirms the fact that #Russia's ‘iron’ system is fracturing” as a result of the war in #Ukraine and Western pressure.

  10. @SocraticEthics #Trump is protecting #Russian assets in the #UnitedStates because he saw what happened to fellow #Putin puppet Yevgheny #Prigozhin when he was no longer useful. ☠️

    #Resist #TrumpRussiaCollusion to #SaveAmerica.

  11. @PotMetPetunias @Powerfromspace1 ‘Mediator’? 😂

    #Russians know what #Lukashenko is. There can only be ONE ‘strong man’ in any dictatorship.

    And #Prigozhin learned in his last moments that you can’t trust a #dictator. Even if you *were* his favorite cook! 😂

  12. So, hubby just reminded me that things did NOT end well with #Prigozhin and the #WagnerGroup . Apparently, they complained about not getting enough weapons in their attacks against #Ukraine, and Putin had a plane containing most of them (including Prigozhin) taken down! Oooops!

  13. #Blackwater Founder #ErikPrince Talks About Wagner, War, and More

    By Greg Chabot, July 24, 2022

    "After the success of this program [Blackwater], Prince was approached by officials in Russia asking for his help to start up a PMC. Prince turned down the generous offer that he says could have made him a billionaire. The #PMC nevertheless formed, he says, and is known as the #Wagner Group."

  14. #PMCWagner isn't just emulating #ErikPrince, he was asked to found them (more about that in my next post)...

    #Putin’s “Erik Prince” is tied to some of #Russia’s riskiest covert operations

    By Greg Walters, February 21, 2018

    Excerpt: "In #Syria, a mysterious private military firm called PMC Wagner has been tied to #Prigozhin. The firm is sometimes described as the Russian #Blackwater in reference to the U.S. private military contractor founded by Erik Prince, a likeness Prigozhin appears to be emulating, according to Nance."

  15. Russians and their mothers.....

    Basically the lesson here is, if you come at Putin, don't stop....don't second guess, give it your all or you are fucked.

    Russia just accidentally admitted to its staggering troop losses in Ukraine — Unwanted by their homeland: Ukraine confirms Russia returned bodies of its soldiers disguised as Ukrainian — Trump’s peace push falters in both Ukraine and the Middle East; for similar reasons — Death toll in Russia’s mass strike on Kyiv rises to 30 dead, 172 wounded … and more

  17. 🇷🇺 RUSSIA | 🇺🇦 UKRAINE
    🔴 El Pais: After Wagner, Kadyrov’s “Akhmat” Forces Rise

    🔸 Following Prigozhin’s death, many Wagner fighters joined Kadyrov’s elite “Akhmat” unit.
    🔸 Group maintains semi-autonomy and openly challenges the Russian General Staff.
    🔸 Fighters come from across Russia – and even Ecuador.
    🔸 Akhmat active in Kursk, Luhansk, Donetsk fronts; praised for loyalty over politics.

  18. @fulelo So #TrumpRussia relations are a ‘roller-coaster’, sorta like the orchestrated friend-foe dynamics between #Prigozhin and #Putin. 🤔 Got it!

  19. When #Trump was near #bankruptcy
    Trump was approached by the #Russian #mafia who financed him
    In return Trump through the #Deutschen #Bank
    (whose director of the time was arrested and tried and who now works for the #Malta central bank)
    washed dirty money for the Russian mafia.
    This is the 'kompromat' that tied Trump to #Putin will
    Then Putin proposed to Trump to enter politics
    by promising support through 'Disinformation factories'
    (#Prigozhin internet troll organization)
    You know the rest.

  20. From small-time Ukrainian crime boss to potential Prigozhin rival. Who was Armen Sarkisyan, the Russian paramilitary head killed in a Moscow blast?

    Leak concerning the #Russian military rout in #Aleppo:
    "Until 2023, all sides in #Syria were afraid of the #Prigozhin 'internationalists' as they had been terrorising all sides for several years.

    They cut off the ears 👂 of rebels, tortured them ...

  24. "I’m going to give you a warning. They’re going to come for you,”

    You are ABSOLUTELY right about this, #Rudy

    You try to violently overthrow elected government - and they WILL come for you.

    But look on the positive side - if you tried this shit in #Russia, you would have ended up in a flaming hole in the ground.

    So cheer up, and enjoy the hospitality of #Georgia state penal system.

    #Guiliani #Prigozhin #Trump #Putin .

  25. Different coups, different outcomes. Weird reading about #Prigozhin and #Guiliani on the same day.

  26. Poland claimed that a group of hundreds of Wagner troops moved closer to the Polish border. The claims were made by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Saturday. Morawiecki said that the Wagner troops advanced towards the Belarusian city of Grodno. The Polish PM accused Wagner troops of attempting to destabilise Poland.

  28. 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 Armed Forces of Ukraine were not going to attack Russia with the NATO bloc,” Prigozhin explained in the half-hour tirade released by his press service.

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