Governor of the Kursk region Starovoit on the situation with PMC "Wagner":
Friends, you know, the Kursk region closely cooperated with the PMC "Wagner" in the training of fighters of voluntary people's squads of our region, and I myself went through this training.
After an open rebellion, many advise to cross out and remove all mention of this from the social networks of the Regional Administration, but I will not do this. Together we rejoiced at the success of the guys when we liberated Soledar and Artyomovsk, and mourned together with the families of the fallen soldiers. The ambitions of the leader should not cross out the past merits of ordinary fighters.
I urge Yevgeny Prigozhin to abandon his plans, lay down his arms and prevent the development of an internal conflict in the country.
