Journalists asked Prigozhin to comment on Macron’s words that a year earlier, in a telephone conversation, Russian leader Vladimir Putin denied the connection of the Russian army with the Wagner group, and now, according to the French president, it allegedly became part of the Russian armed forces.

“Comrade Macron, you live in a world of illusions and have very little information about what is happening in Africa and what is happening in Moscow.

PMC Wagner is a private army that has acted, is operating and will operate all over the world, ”says Prigozhin in a comment posted on the Telegram channel of his press service.

He noted that the PMC protects those whom Western countries have humiliated for decades.

Earlier, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that Prigozhin visited the commander of the Akhmat special forces Apta Alaudinov in the hospital, who was hospitalized after an assassination attempt.
