Russia, another dispute between Prigozhin and Shoigu. “Vile”, the offense to the minister’s son-in-law

That there was bad blood between the two is no mystery. But the situation is also degenerating at the public level. Yevgeny Prigozhin attacked Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu’s son-in-law – his ‘enemy’ – calling him a “coward” and “blogger str…”. The innocent, reports the Guardian, arrived in a video message that the head of the mercenary group Wagner posted on social media, making a comparison between Aik Gasparyan, a former thief who joined the militia, and Alexei Stolaryov, a fitness blogger, as well as husband of Ksenia Shoigu, daughter of the minister and loyal to Vladimir Putin. «Who is better, Hayk who committed a crime, came out of it and became a real hero, or a str.. blogger who remains a vile creature?», asked Prigozhin,

The heavy insult came on the same day that Wagner’s boss published a letter addressed to Shoigu in which he asked for help in view of the planned Ukrainian counter-offensive: “At present, Wagner’s units control about 70% of Bakhmut and continue to offensive until its total liberation. According to available information, at the end of March, beginning of April, the enemy plans to launch a full-scale offensive, with the risk of separating the Wagner group from the Russian army. I ask Shoigu to take the necessary measures to prevent this from happening, as such a separation would have negative consequences for the special military operation.” It is the first time that Prigozhin has published a correspondence with the Minister of Defense, which he has criticized several times: published by Prigozhin’s Telegram channel, the letter is also taken up by Tass, the official Russian agency.
