Prigozhin also announces that Wagner continues to recruit “true heroes” and “fulfill assigned tasks”. Last July, the paramilitary company announced that it was no longer fighting in Ukraine and had stopped recruiting new fighters.
But Prigozhin assured that “when the Motherland requires”, the Wagnerians, until recently the main Russian offensive force in Ukraine, would once again form an “additional unit” to defend the national interests.
