The head of the Wagner Group claims that they no longer take prisoners and "destroy everything on the battlefield"

MOSCOW, 24 Apr. (DPA/EP) -

The head of the Wagner Group, Yevgei Prigozhin, has stated that his mercenaries are no longer capturing prisoners in Ukraine and "will destroy everything on the battlefield", a threat that comes amid speculation about the extent of progress made by the two warring sides. .

Prigozhin has spoken in this way through his communication channel and in response to a recording in which allegedly the Ukrainian military discusses the execution of a mercenary from the Wagner Group. The oligarch has accused kyiv of violating International Law.

In this sense, he has defended that prisoners of war also have the right to minimum conditions and has announced that the current policy involves avoiding capture. "We will kill everything", he has pointed out in a voice message broadcast on Telegram.

The Wagner Group has become a key military ally for the Kremlin and its presence has been notable in strategic areas, such as the Ukrainian town of Bakhmut. To increase its staff, Prigozhin's firm has resorted to recruiting thousands of inmates serving sentences in Russian jails.
