Wagner PMC’s founder regrets not receiving White House reply to his open letter

Yevgeny Prigozhin said that judging from the comment, an attempt is being made to resort to generalities on destabilizing activities

MOSCOW, January 24. /TASS/. Founder of the Wagner private military company Yevgeny Prigozhin regretted on Tuesday that the White House failed to reply to his open letter asking to explain the recent US assessment of his company’s activities.

"Unfortunately, the White House never responded to my letter, while, judging from the comment, an attempt is being made to resort to generalities on destabilizing activities," Prigozhin’s press service said on Telegram.

"I’d like to dwell on destabilizing activities. A war is being waged in Ukraine. And I am fighting in this war for Russia, for my motherland, whose interests I have been defending and will defend. In any other country I have ever visited I always took sides with the current government and its indigenous people. So, who, when and where did I destabilize? Please, respond," Prigozhin insisted.

On Saturday, Prigozhin’s press service published an open letter addressed to John Kirby, US National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, asking what crime his Wagner PMC had committed.

On Friday, Kirby said the US had decided to designate Wagner PMC as a transnational criminal organization and would soon impose more sanctions on it.

Earlier, the US authorities put Wagner PMC on a sanctions list.
