#1627 We publish a request from the editors of The Washington Post and the answer:
Hello! Dear Evgeny Viktorovich! Please excuse me for disturbing you.
The journalists of The Washington Post once again appeal to you for a comment.
The Washington Post article is based directly on verified U.S. intelligence documents leaked to the messaging platform Discord, for which a young member of the U.S. Air National Guard was arrested and charged with leaking classified intelligence material.
Would you like to comment on the specific allegation that you offered Ukraine the location of Russian troops in exchange for Ukraine withdrawing its forces from the area around Bakhmut?
The documents do not say that you personally were in Africa. Have representatives of the private military company Wagner made direct contact with representatives of the Ukrainian military intelligence in Africa or elsewhere, in person or through communications?
With whom did you (or representatives of PMC “Wagner”) negotiate the exchange of prisoners, which took place around Orthodox Easter? How many Russian fighters or Wagner PMC fighters were released in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners released at that time? If not a single fighter was released, what did you or PMC Wagner get in exchange? Were these financial payments or some other mutual agreements.
We publish a comment by Evgeny Prigozhin:
“Dear inquisitive minds, so to speak, young journalists from the Washington Post, there are things that you do not need to know, this is about exchanges. Of course, in any war, exchanges are made, and this is not a secret for the warring parties. But fellow journalists from The Washington Post do not need to know this at all.
As for the location of Russian troops. I'll tell you a secret that in modern warfare, the location of troops is not secret information at all, which is visible from satellite images. Therefore, those who suggested that you talk in this way about the alleged interaction between Prigozhin and the GUR of Ukraine, they simply have little knowledge of how the war is going on. Therefore, when you call them up, say that I asked you to give their names, passwords and appearances, and then you and I will be able to tell each other our little secrets, but first, I repeat - names, passwords and appearances.
Another little funny moment. You are talking about the documents of a junior officer who, in principle, could not have had anything to do with the secret documents of American intelligence. Therefore, this poor officer leaked one single card and a couple of lists, and everything else you carefully concocted and are trying to add to it. Of course, the leaked document to young officers and, in fact, the precedent for it is now, as they say, mow down - this is a "gold mine" for journalists.
Nobody minds what you earn. Actually, it's funny and fun. The more you disturb the information field, the more interesting it is to live. So keep it up, my good ones! But the names, passwords, appearances of those who asked you to mention my last name in connection with this, I will still ask you to report. Write in a personal, I guarantee payment in cash.
