Moment Wagner chief EXPLODES with fury at Putin’s minions over Moscow drone attacks

The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group has unleashed an explosive rant of swear words at Vladimir Putin’s cronies after Moscow was attacked by suspected Ukrainian kamikaze drones this morning.

In a furious 70-second diatribe, a relentless Yevgeny Prigozhin shouted vulgar insults at Russia’s defense, describing them as “stinking bastards” and “b******.”

The Wagner boss said he was “deeply outraged” by Putin’s troops doing “f*** all” to stop explosive drones from raining down on the Russian capital this morning. Soon after, Putin claimed that Moscow’s air defense system was operating “satisfactorily.”

Known for his foul-mouthed tirades, Prigozhin, who handed Bakhmut over to the Russian army last week, was translated as yelling, “Smelly bastards! What are you doing? Come out of the offices where you have been posted to protect this country.

“You are the Ministry of Defense. You’ve done f*** all to move on. Why the fuck are you flying these drones to Moscow? Who cares that they fly to your houses on Rublyovka! Let your houses burn.

And what are ordinary people supposed to do when drones with explosives crash into their windows? So as a citizen I am deeply outraged that these scum sit quietly with their fat asses smeared with expensive creams.

“And that’s why I think people have every right to ask them these questions, this b******.

“But I have warned many times about this, but no one will listen. Because I’m angry and I’ve upset bureaucrats who have great lives.”

Its astonishing collapse comes after several buildings in Moscow’s affluent suburbs were damaged by suspected Ukrainian kamikaze drones just hours after Putin unleashed another volley of attacks on Kiev.

A misguided Putin and his cronies today accused Ukraine of trying to “scare” the Russians with their “increasingly reckless behavior” after Moscow came under fire.

Seemingly forgetting that Russia has unleashed a series of deadly airstrikes on Ukrainian cities that have killed thousands over the past 15 months, Putin claimed that Kiev had chosen the “road to frighten the citizens of Russia.”

The ranting Russian despot admitted that there was “some work to be done” on Moscow’s air defense system, as a sign of his growing frustration with the Russian defenses.

“Moscow’s air defense system was operating normally and satisfactorily, although there is still some work to be done,” Putin said on Russian television.

Who is Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin?

Yevgeny Prigozhin, nicknamed “Putin’s Chef” for owning a number of restaurants and catering companies that supply the Kremlin, is the oligarch founder of the infamous Wagner Group.

Prigozhin was born in the Soviet Union on June 1, 1961, before serving time in prison during his teenage years for numerous crimes, including fraud and theft.

After serving 9 years in prison, Prigozhin started a number of businesses after the collapse of the Soviet Union, including grocery and gambling businesses.

In 2014, Prigozhin founded Wagner Group during the first Russian invasion of Ukraine. The group of mercenaries has since become infamous for doing the Russian military’s dirty work, leaving behind traces of brutal violence, rape and war crimes.

Prigozhin long denied any connection to the group until September 2022 when he admitted to founding the mercenaries.

He is often seen on the front lines of the conflict with Ukraine, criticizing the Russian military leaders, accusing them of starving Wagner forces of supplies.

Air defenses around Moscow – which, as the capital of the world’s largest nuclear power, is already protected by a comprehensive early warning system – would be strengthened, Putin said.

A Ukrainian presidential aide who denied Kyiv was directly involved in the Moscow attack, but said Ukraine enjoyed watching events and more were to come.

“Of course we are happy to see and predict an increase in attacks. But of course we have nothing directly to do with this,” said Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak.

A kamikaze drone exploded in a mushroom cloud near the village of Usovo, just down the street from Putin’s official residence Novo-Ogaryovo outside the capital.

‘[Putin’s residence] would be within earshot of the explosion,” a resident said.

In the city, explosive drones hit apartment buildings on Leninsky Prospekt and Profsoyuznaya Street, about six miles from central Moscow, reportedly injuring several residents and damaging the buildings.

Ukraine did not immediately comment on the attack, which would be one of the deepest and most daring attacks on Russia since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than 15 months ago.

It is the second attack on Moscow this month after the Kremlin was attacked by a kamikaze drone – an action Russia described as an “assassination” against their leader.

Moscow has remained largely undisturbed since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine last February, although about 220,000 Russian troops have died in the war.
