Wagner PMC leader Yevgeniy Prigozhin asks Russian authorities to declare the end of the war

Wagner PMC leader Yevgeniy Prigozhin asks Russian authorities to declare the end of the war and focus on gaining a foothold in the occupied territories of Ukraine
"For the authorities (of the Russian Federation - ed.) and for society as a whole, it is necessary to put a full stop to the SMO. The ideal option would be to announce the end of the SMO, to inform everyone that Russia has achieved the results it planned, and in a sense, we have indeed achieved them. We have milled a huge number of Ukrainian soldiers and can report to ourselves that the objectives of the SMO have been fulfilled. Theoretically, Russia has already achieved this goal by destroying a large part of the active male population of Ukraine and by intimidating the rest of it, which fled to Europe. Russia has cut off the Azov Sea and a large chunk of the Black Sea, seized a large chunk of Ukraine's territory and created a land corridor to Crimea."
