“It’s good to scratch your tongue, let’s go forward, to the front line”: Rogozin intervened in a verbal duel between Strelkov and Prigozhin

Former head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, currently heading the Tsarskie Wolves group of advisers in the DPR, called on the ex-head of the DPR Ministry of Defense Igor Strelkov to stop “scratching his tongue” and go to the front. He wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

Earlier, we recall, a verbal duel ensued between Strelkov and businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin. It all started with the fact that on January 26, the businessman’s press service published an invitation to Strelkov to the front from Prigogine. “I, as the senior head of the Wagner PMC, invite Mr. Girkin to the front to check the correctness of his position and use, as he stated, his combat experience,” the message said. Strelkov was invited to arrive on the territory of the LPR to be appointed to a senior position – in one of the assault units.

To this, Strelkov told RBC that he had an “extremely negative experience” of public negotiations through the media. He also said that he could go to the front at the invitation of Prigozhin if it was done “in a normal way” and suited him.

The businessman’s press service told Strelkov that all Wagner PMC fighters learn about the recruitment either from advertising or by word of mouth, they don’t invite anyone personally. But an exception was made for Strelkov – they appointed “responsible” for him.

Rogozin unexpectedly joined the discussion. According to him, Strelkov allegedly “invented” in Bosnia that someone was preventing him from working. Therefore, he should stop “scratching his tongue” and go to the front line.

Strelkov almost immediately reacted to Rogozin’s post, writing that he did not remember the policy of participating in a volunteer detachment in Bosnia at all. For his part, the ex-head of Roscosmos reminded Strelkov that they “remembered” Bosnia together five years ago.
