Wagner mercenary reveals Yevgeny Prigozhin trained them to kill Ukrainian women and children by throwing grenades through windows and doors then entering homes to ‘finish them off’

A Wagner mercenary has revealed that warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin trained his troops to kill Ukrainian women and children by throwing grenades through their windows and doors before entering their homes to “finish them off.”

The fighter, Maksim Zelenov, confessed that Prigozhin, who is believed to have been killed in a plane crash last month, told him how to kill Wagner-style when invading villages in Ukraine.

In a video, the former police officer is asked by human rights activist Vladimir Osechkin, “Who gave the order – two grenades in a window, two grenades in a door, and then walk in and finish (the wounded)?”

Zelenov, seen on the video under the name Wagner man 1, replied: “Prigozhin himself. Yes, I’ve killed a lot of people.’

Osechkin asked, “How many elderly, adults, and how many children were among the dead?”

Zelenov replied, “When we got to that five-story apartment building, we must have killed about forty people.”

A second combatant, Alexei Chernyavsky, said Prigozhin told him, “Be prepared that as soon as you enter houses, you will have to kill women and children.”

“It doesn’t matter who, they should all be killed because they are Ukrainians.”

Chernyavsky, a former police officer identified in the video as Wagner man 2, reiterated the orders he was given.

“They said if we take over towns and villages and break into homes, we will kill women and children,” he said.

“Before entering the premises, we had to throw a grenade, then go in and if women and children inside were injured instead of killed, then we had to finish them off – because they are Ukrainians.

“We had to kill everyone. We are Wagner, we kill everyone.’

The sickening admissions come as Ukraine’s military intelligence has said it cannot confirm the death of Wagner warlord Prigozhin in a plane crash last month.

Amid a flurry of conspiracy theories, it is emerging that the Wagner boss may have cheated death by placing a body double on his doomed business jet that crashed in Russia on August 23.

Many in the West believe he was assassinated at the behest of Vladimir Putin in revenge for the coup he led against the dictator’s regime in June.

Ukrainian military intelligence spokesman Andrey Yusov said Kiev is confident Wagner’s military commander Dmitry Utkin, 53, was killed in the plane crash in Russia’s Tver region along with other Prigozhin associates.

But of Prigozhin – whose death was announced by Russian authorities on the basis of DNA evidence – he said: “We have to work with confirmed facts, we have to wait.”

He said, “I will simply concentrate on confirming the death of Utkin and several other associates of Prigozhin.”

Russian political analyst Dr. Valery Solovoy believes security paranoid Prigozhin is still alive, having cheated death when his Embraer Legacy 600 plane crashed.

Solovoy said he would reveal which country gave Prigozhin a safe haven.
