In his first voice message since June 26, Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed he expects “further victories at the front” without providing any further details.

The message was published on the Telegram channel Grey Zone, affiliated with the private mercenary Wagner Group, on July 3. …

The mercenary boss also claimed in the latest message that his short-lived insurrection was aimed at “fighting traitors and mobilizing (Russian) society.”

“And I think that we have succeeded in much of these,” added Prigozhin.

[Prigozhin had been quiet for more than a week before this message. It sounds as though Prigozhin expects to have some participation in Ukraine, but that seems unlikely. And if this was a double-deke head fake designed to send Wagner to Belarus to launch a new surprise offensive, why would Prigozhin be talking about it on Telegram? Why bother doing that at all, as opposed to just sending Prigozhin to Minsk with all of his forces intact? — Ed]
