Yevgeny Prigozhin confirmed his illegal recruitment in the colony of Zambian citizen Nathan Nyirenda, who had previously been clarified in the circumstances of his death in the war with Ukraine demanded government of the country.
The African came to Russia as a student, but was convicted of drugs and served a sentence of 9.6 years in a Tver colony.
“Yes, I remember this guy well,” says Prigozhin on behalf of his press service channel. – I talked with him in the Tver region and asked him a question: “Why do you need this war? In a couple of years you will be able to leave ahead of schedule, soon you will be at home and see your relatives. What are you going for? After all, the chance of dying is quite high. Remember this”. And he answered exactly what I expected. He said: “You Russians helped us Africans gain independence for many years. When it was difficult for us, you extended your hand to us and continue to do so now. PMC “Wagner” saves thousands of Africans, and if I go to war with you, this is probably less than I can pay our debts. And if I stay alive, I will learn to fight for my homeland. And one more thing, it’s a great honor for me, I know about Wagner only by hearsay, but I can become one of you.
Nyirenda Lemekani Nathan on September 22 was one of the first to break into the enemy trenches, showing courage and courage. And he died a hero.
