Prigogine: Pesco’s son fought as a Wagner mercenary in the Ukraine.

According to Wagner’s personal army, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov’s son fought alongside their mercenaries in the Russian war against Ukraine. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin announced on Saturday that Peskov had contacted him about the war effort.
Therefore, a confidant of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, he advised his son not to send his son to the regular troops of the Ministry of Defense. Boss Wagner has repeatedly criticized the players’ poor equipment and inadequate training and leadership.

They are considered secret warriors of the Kremlin: mercenaries of the private military company “Gruppe Wagner”.

Peskov’s son, Nikolai Soules, who lived in Britain for a long time and changed his name, told the Moscow tabloid “KB” that he worked because he considered it his duty. The newspaper also published a photo of the 33-year-old in uniform. He is also said to have received a medal. Critical observers said the alleged use was unproven.

After three weeks of training, Peskov’s son served under a false name as an artilleryman in the contested Luhansk region, Prigozhin said, praising his deployment as a role model. Children of most representatives of the Russian elite abstained from the war effort. “Parents hide them,” complained the 61-year-old. Sons will be sent to university where they will be released from service with guns. On the other hand, children of laborers die in war.
Prigogine did not present any evidence for the use of Peskov’s son. Like his father, Soles is subject to Western sanctions because of the Russian war. Pesco, who is otherwise quick to comment, did not initially react to the news, which was picked up by state media. Prigogine said Peskov tried to talk his son out of going to war.
No one in the army knew about this move. “I only know about that and the head of the cadre service,” Prigozhin said. “He showed courage and bravery – just like everyone else.” Now Pesco’s son is on leave after six months of service. Boss Wagner repeatedly advertises that he treats, equips and pays his fighters better than the regular Russian army.
