Businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin told the details of the service of Nikolai Peskov, the son of the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, in the Wagner PMC. The day before, he voiced this information, which caused a great resonance. Prigozhin's comment is published by his press service on the Telegram channel.
Prigozhin was surprised that not everyone believed this information and confirmed that Dmitry Peskov had turned to him for advice this summer, as his son was going to the special operation zone and it was useless to dissuade him.
The businessman noted that he took Nikolai to the Wagner PMC under false documents, changing his last name and first name.
«He underwent three weeks of training. And when he left to Luhansk, he was appointed a member of the calculation for «Hurricane». At «Hurricane» he was the loader of the transport-loading vehicle. Their vehicle worked very well,» Prigozhin said.
The founder of the PMC «Wagner» added, that the commander of Nikolai Peskov was «a frostbitten guy who participated in all the messes.» After 6 months, today Nikolai was released on vacation. Prigogine stressed that he worked like everyone else, showing courage and heroism, and none of the crew members knew that his dad was someone.
«The only thing he was different about was that he knew English and looked too smart,» Prigozhin added.
