I wanted to fight “by all means”
Prozorov himself, shortly before the assassination attempt, said in an interview that he decided to go over to the side of Russia back in 2014, immediately after the coup in Kyiv, because he wanted to fight the new illegal government “by all means.”

“Subsequent events only convinced me that I had chosen the right decision, the right path. There was no other way to deal with this power; we had to fight. Because from the very beginning this government itself did not even leave for itself any other way to resolve issues other than to drown these, say, regions in blood,” added the agency’s interlocutor.
