Wagner Group's Alarming Video Reveals Readiness for Global Chaos

A video allegedly recorded by a Wagner Group field commander, known as "Berserk," suggests that the paramilitary organization led by Yevgeny Prigozhin is prepared for global events and turmoil. The authenticity of the video has not been verified, and Russia's Foreign Ministry has been contacted for comment. Prigozhin recently led a march towards Moscow but pulled back after a deal was brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. The video hints at a potential alliance with the Akhmat special forces unit led by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. The Kremlin has downplayed Prigozhin's rebellion, with President Putin stating that "Wagner does not exist" due to the absence of a law on private military organizations in Russia.
