Delimkhanov and Daudov publicly criticized Prigogine

State Duma Deputy from Chechnya Adam Delimkhanov recorded a video message to Yevgeny Prigozhin (the head of Wagner PMC), in which he asked him to name the date and place of the meeting. He will personally give answers regarding the activities of the Akhmat unit.

“I just came in and saw an appeal or statement by Yevgeny Prigozhin, in which he says that he does not understand the tasks of the Akhmat unit. And of course, Zhenya, that you don’t understand, you shouldn’t understand,” Delimkhanov said. - This is the time. Secondly, you have already become a blogger and shout to the whole world that we only have problems. Enough, otherwise the people and our society no longer understand many issues.”

Delimkhanov was joined by Chairman of the Chechen Parliament Magomed Daudov, who offered to meet and talk "like a man with a man." “In your statements, you hint that someone needs to be shot, etc. Sometimes it is not clear to me what you are trying to achieve with these daily statements of yours. On the contrary, you create panic among the population of our country. I know that you were awarded the title of Hero of Russia. I don’t think that when you were awarded such a high rank, it was expected that you would create such panic moods in society in the future. Do not forget, Zhenya, thanks to whom you have a private military company, planes, helicopters, MLRS, etc. You still declare that you have the first army, the crests have the second army. If you keep going like this, nothing good will come of it. At the expense of your statements, throw off the location, and at any time, anywhere, as a man with a man, we will meet with you and what we have, we will express, and if there are other proposals, we will discuss,” Daudov said.

Earlier, Prigozhin stated that he did not know what the Akhmat unit was doing.
