Prigozhin urges businesses to attract a quarter of male employees to the service.
The owner of the Wagner PMC, businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced the creation of military training centers in the Belgorod and Kursk regions of the Russian Federation bordering Ukraine.
Prigozhin is ready to finance training centers allegedly at his own expense, according to a statement posted by his Concord company.
"Putin's Cook" also called for mobilizing a quarter of the adult male population to the front.
"If you are the owner of a small factory that employs 100 people, and 50 of them are sexually mature males, then 25% should serve in the trenches, and 75% should continue their labor activity. And so on in a circle - one week in the trenches, three houses and in production," Prigozhin said.
According to him, thanks to this approach, "100% will defend the country" when the "enemy comes."
- Prigozhin, known as a businessman and "Putin's Cook," has stopped disowning the activities of PMCs. Including, he personally agitated prisoners and recruited more than a thousand prisoners.
- It is noted that recently Prigozhin continues to increase power in Russia and manages the "Wagnerites" without direct control of the Russian Defense Ministry.
- At the same time, he continues to sow a split in the government of the Russian Federation.
