Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, has published a video of himself in the cockpit of a military aircraft, challenging Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian President, to an aerial duel.
“Volodymyr Oleksandrovych (Zelensky), we have landed. We have bombed Bakhmut,” Prigozhin said in the short video.
“Tomorrow, I will fly a MiG-29. If you so desire, let’s meet in the skies. If you win, you take Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). If not, we advance till (the River) Dnipro.”
The clip was release by Prigozhin’s press service, which said it was filmed aboard a Su-24 bomber plane operated by Wagner.
It was the latest in a series of statements and videos in which Prigozhin has sought to promote himself and his private army as the spearhead of Russian military operations in east Ukraine.
