Wagner PMC fighters promised to "deal" with the Goryachiy Klyuch administration because of the ban on the burial of colleagues. The video with threats was published in the Wagner Unloading Telegram channel associated with PMC Wagner, this channel is referred to in publications by Russian propaganda media .
“Wait, bastards, that we will have to come and deal with you, because you bitches do more harm than the Ukrainian army, than the Nazis, because you are the Nazis, the fucking administration of the Hot Key.”
On March 18, the head of the municipality, Sergei Belopolsky, published a post on his Telegram channel, saying that he did not want to turn the resort city into a burial place for fighters.
“I respect the active fighters of Wagner PMC and the memory of those who have already given their lives for their Motherland! But I cannot but listen to the opinion of the public that it is wrong to make the resort city of Goryachiy Klyuch a place for a mass grave of fighters. I am sure that there are enough municipalities in the region, which are not resort towns, for burial with the creation of appropriate memorials.”
The press service of Yevgeny Prigozhin, one of the founders of PMC Wagner, then published his statement on Telegram. In it, he claims that the funeral of the PMC fighters will take place on March 19 at 10:00 in a planned manner, and if the Goryachiy Klyuch administration opposes this, the PMC will take "appropriate measures and decisions."
The channel also posted Prigozhin's appeals to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Chairman of the State Duma describing the problem with the burial of fighters.
