The percentage of casualties among the fighters who have signed a contract with “Wagner” is also similar, he said, without revealing the exact figures.
Prigozhin has criticized Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov for incompetence and heavy losses.
“Currently there are tens of thousands of fallen relatives. There will probably be hundreds of thousands. We cannot avoid it,” said Prigozhin.
He encouraged the Russian elite to send their children to the front.
The businessman and close aide of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has also criticized the Russian elite, accusing their children of living in comfort while boys from impoverished regions of Russia die in Ukraine.
Prigozhin also repeatedly claimed that his soldiers would leave Bakhmut by June 1 and hand over control to the Russian army.
