Is it a fight after the fight? The Kursk Region Governor stated that the region would have repelled a Wagner attack.
Kursk Region Governor Roman Starovoit, three days after the mutiny began, said that if the Wagner PMC had decided to seize his region, they would have met with resistance.
"If the Wagner PMC had entered the Kursk region, we were fully prepared to counter them. We had engineer barriers in place, and personnel mobilized. The Wagner PMC veterans who live in the Kursk region, many of whom I know personally, hadn't anticipated any protests. I want to thank the guys; they are true patriots," Starovoit wrote.
Telegram channel ChDT remindedthat the Kursk governor had previously praised Prigozhin’s private military company, and говорил, who underwent combat training there. He also personally congratulated Yevgeny Prigozhin on the capture of Bakhmut.
