The head of the paramilitary group Wagner Prigozhin said in a video released on social media that he wants to stand as a candidate in the presidential elections in Ukraine in 2024 challenging, according to him, Poroshenko and Zelensky. This statement is probably an attempt to divert attention from his political ambitions in Russia, where he dreams of reaching power and possibly becoming Putin’s successor.
