A bloody hammer as a "gift" from "Putin's cook" for the EU Parliament: Yevgeny Prigozhin's private army shocked with a video.
Brussels/Munich - A symbol that confirms exactly the image that Europe has had of Russia since the start of the Ukraine conflict: After the EU Parliament declared Russia a "terrorism supporter" on Thursday, the lawyer for the Wagner group of Yevgeny Prigozhin ("Putin's cook") then gave parliament a violin case - inside was a bloody sledgehammer.
This is reported by several media unanimously.
Preparations for the handover were announced in a video released by the group on propaganda channels.
"Putin's cook" Prigozhin probably sends a hammer with the Wagner logo - and the words "blood - honor - fatherland - courage"
In the video, a man brings the violin case into an office and places it on a table.
Then you see the hammer: This adorns the Wagner logo, traces of blood can be seen on the handle.
The words "Blood - Honor - Fatherland - Courage" can also be read there.
So it is fitting that individual MPs have already called for the Wagner Group to be added to the list of terrorist organizations.
"Putin's cook" Prigozhin: Wagner boss apparently threatens Europe with a bloody hammer
In the scene, which could have come from a mafia film, Prigozhin apparently threatens the Europeans with the symbol of the bloody hammer.
According to the Telegram channel
Nexta
, which is close to Wagner, the hammer should represent “information”.
A few days ago, according to
Bild
, a video had been circulating in which a soldier branded a "traitor" was killed with such a hammer.
Video title: "Hammer of Revenge".
Prigozhin had announced: "A dog receives the death of a dog."
