Evgeny Prigozhin commented on the introduction of sanctions to the West against the Wagner PMC.
“I consider any sanctions and restrictions against me, PMC” Wagner “, as well as any legal entities and individuals of the Russian Federation, absolutely illegal. They were adopted without the consent of the government agencies of the Russian Federation (I want to remind you that I am a Russian citizen), so I I spit, spit and spit on any sanctions, ”said Prigozhin, published in his Telegram channel.
According to him, “with the modern development of information technologies, with the help of which you can freely carry out any communications, this does not affect anything”.
“Therefore, let the British themselves be afraid of their sanctions,” he said.
January 20, strategic communications coordinator in the National Security Council of the White House, John Kirby said that the US Treasury Department recognizes the Wagner PMC with a transnational criminal organization and will impose additional sanctions against it next week.
The announcement of the PMC with a transnational criminal organization provides for freezing any of its assets in the United States and a ban for Americans to provide this group with funds, goods or services.
