Humiliating images show Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin in wigs and disguises
Embarrassing images of Wagner mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin wearing wigs and disguises have been leaked by Russian state media following a recent raid on his St Petersburg property.
Humiliating images of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin's wigs and disguises have been leaked by Russian state media.
The laughable guises are thought to have been discovered after Vladimir Putin's officers ransacked the warlord's home in St Petersburg following his short-lived rebellion against the Kremlin.
One disguise shows Prigozhin as an employee of the ministry in Sudan and another shows him dressed as an assistant diplomat in Abu Dhabi.
Other images show him posing as military figures from both Libya and Syria and the mercenary is seen pulling odd poses in selfies that appeared on pro-Kremlin Telegram channels.
Reports in Russia claimed that Prigozhin wore the disguises in Africa and the Middle East as he tried to further Putin's interests and get Wagner forces deployed.
The poor quality of some of the disguises has led to suggestions on Telegram that the images have been doctored by the state in an attempt to further and the warlord's supporters claim that the leaked photos could flout Russia's strict national security if Prigozhin did wear them abroad.
Ukrainians were quick to ridicule the Wagner boss, with government official Anton Gerashchenko writing: "These are not shots from a casting for a role in a cheap comedy, but a selfie of Prigozhin.
"In most of the pictures, yesterday's 'Hero of Russia' is in Libyan uniform with Libyan epaulettes and elements of conspiracy."
