Russian mercenary group Wagner leader Prigozhin threatens 'dirtbag' Russian city officials who prohibited burial
Tensions erupted in the Kuban city of Goryachy Klyuch when the local administration forbade Wagner from burying eight of their fighters. The move led the group to intimidate officials into submission, the New Tab reported.Prigozhin called the officials to threaten them, Wagner fighters stationed in the Donbass sent threatening videos, and armed fighters arrived in person to oversee the burials.
On March 20, several hundred locals gathered to attend the funeral. Very few, if any, knew the dead, according to the New Tab. “My opinion is that the enemy sits among us. Roughly speaking, I will go there now, and then they will not bury me on my land? This is blasphemy of the highest degree," a man from Sochi told the outlet."I came to say goodbye to the guys, to repay the debt. Well, see who can go against the Almighty. I am connected with them spiritually, we do one thing. I have enough acquaintances of the wounded who do not have arms ...
At one point during the funeral, a car drove up playing loud music, but it turned out to be sent from Prigozhin. The car played his audio address.
