Prigozhin’s earlier response to the question of signing on with MoD
#1788 We publish a request from the editors of the Guardians of the Motherland project and the answer:
Hello. You are worried about the editors of the project "Guardians of the Motherland". There was information that Shoigu issued a decree that obliges all volunteers to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense from July 1. First of all, this procedure is aimed at volunteers from Wagner. What does this mean for PMC Wagner? Now the entire command will pass into the hands of the Ministry of Defense? And how will this affect the effectiveness of the Wagners? Thanks in advance for your reply.
We publish a comment by Evgeny Prigozhin:
“Those orders and decrees that Shoigu forms, they apply to employees of the Ministry of Defense and to military personnel. PMC "Wagner" will not sign any contracts with Shoigu. PMC "Wagner" is organically built into the overall system, PMC "Wagner" coordinates its actions with the generals on the right, left, with unit commanders, has the deepest experience and is a highly effective structure. Unfortunately, most military units do not have such efficiency, and precisely because Shoigu cannot manage military formations normally. Therefore, the fact that he writes decrees or orders applies exclusively to the Ministry of Defense and to those who are within the Ministry of Defense. What can happen after this order - we will not be given weapons and ammunition - we will figure it out, as they say, when the thunder breaks out, they will come running and bring weapons and ammunition with a request "help".
As for subordination, of course, Wagner PMC is absolutely completely subordinate to the interests of the Russian Federation and the supreme commander in chief. On the territory, according to the orders of Gerasimov and Shoigu, Wagner PMC coordinates all its actions and performs the tasks set by Army General Surovikin. And since Surovikin is an intelligent, competent and experienced commander, the tasks that Wagner PMC developed together with Surovikin and carried out on his behalf showed a high level of efficiency and success.”

Dikiy, commander of PMC "Wagner", Hero of Russia:
“Most commanders from the Ministry of Defense will agree with me that the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is a community of non-professionals who not only cannot lead our army to victory, but dishonor it at every step. Therefore, I propose the same document, only in reverse order. The fact that PMC "Wagner" is ready to accept fighters from the Ministry of Defense into its ranks, on general, fraternal conditions for us. We are ready to continue to fight with them hand in hand until the Victory of Great Russia.
As for Shoigu and his retinue. I propose not later than June 20 to pass a qualification commission in our field camps and additional training. As a result, after training and a test of confidence, if someone ends up with the result of "crap himself", he surrenders his position, shoulder straps and undeservedly acquired awards. They also return their children from abroad, cancel their dual citizenship, and transfer real estate abroad to the fund to help the relatives of those who died in the NVO.
