[ColonelCassad] For those who asked for proofs. Peskov's son at the front.
A few words about my friend and brother Nikolai Peskov. The fact that he defended our Motherland with you in the ranks of Wagner PMC, I knew for a long time. Hands were constantly reaching out to tell the whole world about it, considering what kind of slop people “with good faces” and other non-traitors of our country poured on his family.
Thanks to Evgeny Prigozhin for making public this fact of a single strong male act! Today I spoke with Nikolai, and this is what he told me about all this hype around his name:
“I never paid attention to what they say behind their backs. I took an oath to serve my Motherland many years ago. Long before the events in Donbass and the special operation, I had the honor of representing my branch of the armed forces at the May 9 Victory Parade. And today I managed to fulfill my duty and defend my country on the battlefield in the ranks of the Wagner PMC. Do not hesitate, the truth and victory are ours!”
On my own behalf, I’ll add that during the nine years of Ukraine’s aggression against the people of Donbass, Nikolai Peskov was one of my most active associates in helping children affected by hostilities! Thank you for everything dear! And see you soon!

Yevgeniy Prigozhin about the service of his son Peskov in the PMC "Wagner".
1. I applied to Wagner for an attack aircraft. He was assigned to the Hurricane MLRS loaders of the artillery battalion of the Wagner PMC. Passed 3 weeks of training at the base in Molkino.
2. Served the entire term of the contract - 6 months. There were no significant complaints about him.
3. He didn’t tell anyone that he was Peskov’s son (only Prigozhin and the head of the personnel department of the PMC were aware of it). He served as an ordinary fighter, so he did not enjoy any special privileges.
4. Prigogine correctly points out that the society has formed such an attitude towards the elites that the son of a high-ranking person fighting at the front is perceived as an oxymoron and a break in the pattern. And even when a person really goes to war, they do not believe in it and say that this is fake and PR.
