During the clip, originally part of an interview with Russian military blogger Semyon Pegov published on April 29, Prigozhin said: “Today we have reached the boiling point.<\/p>\n
“Why am I speaking so honestly? Because I don\u2019t have the right, before those people who will live on in this country. They are now being lied to. Better kill me.”<\/p>\n
He added: “But I will not lie, I must say honestly that Russia is on the brink of disaster. And if these cogs are not adjusted today, then the plane will fall apart in the air.”<\/p>\n
The resurfaced video was shared on Grey Zone, Wagner’s Telegram channel which anyone can join, and quickly sparked thousands of reactions.<\/p>\n
One Telegram user, using the handle Outpost, said: “But he knew.”<\/p>\n
Another said: “Truth from the first to last word.”<\/p>\n
The timing of Prigozhin\u2019s death has so far raised eyebrows as it occurred just two months after he made headlines by leading a mutinous march on Moscow \u2013 which he abruptly stopped as his men reached 200km from Moscow.<\/p>\n
The Kremlin, however, denies any involvement in his death, dismissing it as an “absolute lie”.<\/p>\n
