Wait - are you seriously asking me to refer to Prigozhin as a source of truthful information?

Have you even listened to the wildly fanciful lies and outrageous claims he has made?

He says there was no separatist movement, but uyou leave out thew reason he gives for the revolt in Donbas.

Prigozhin has said that Shoigu and Gerasimov organised the Donbas revolt just to enrich themselves personally.

The man is a traitor, a mutineer and a serial criminal.

As well as a bald faced pathological liar.

And James, just because you say "this has been debunked" doesn't mean that it has. I remember when the Hunter Biden laptop "conspiracy" was "debunked". I remember when the lab leak theory of COVID origin was "debunked". I remember when the charges of the FBI's spying on the Trump campaign were "debunked".

These days, "debunked" means nothing - it only signifies a retrenchment of the dominant narrative with no factual basis.

Look, the Maidan Coup happened in February 2022. That is a fact.

By April, the Kiev regime had made the Azov, Kraken, Tornado, Aidar, Dnipro and other Nazi militias official parts of the UAF. This is also a documented fact.

That they were dispatched to the East to fight in the Donbas is also fact.

That they them shelled, tortured and killed civilians in the Donbas was also documented by MSM as well as Amnesty International and the OSCE. Do you claim that the OSCE is a "Putin puppet"??

FACT: Russian was outlawed as an official language in Ukraine.

FACT: the Ukrainian "Institute of National Memory" (yes, it's a real thing) rewrote all school textbooks to portray Russia and Russians as historically, intrinsically, and immutably evil.

FACT: all Russian language TV and media outlets have been banned.

FACT: all Russian films in Ukraine are dubbed into Ukrainian.

FACT: all Russian literature was removed from Ukrainian libraries.

FACT: The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate was outlawed, its clergy arrested, its churches looted and its icons burned.
