MOLKINO, RUSSIA—According to sources close to the head of the notorious Russian mercenary group, Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin stated Monday that he had decided to attack Russia after hearing Volodymyr Zelensky speak at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
“As soon as I watched his pretaped message at the Grammys, I knew I could no longer continue to wage war on behalf of Vladimir Putin,” said Prigozhin, who went on to clarify that had he never heard the Ukrainian president’s plea for help amid performances by Olivia Rodrigo, BTS, Lady Gaga, and J Balvin, the Wagner Group likely would have never learned that invading another country was wrong.
