Alexander Khodakovsky, deputy head of the Russian Guard of the DPR and head of the "Vostok" battalion:

"The Wagner enlisted personnel. was not privy to the plans of the command - at least most of it. The soldiers were told that they were being transferred to the defense of the Belgorod region, and they were quite surprised by the subsequent course of events. According to reports from the rebellious environment, the plans of the Wagner leadership also include the capture of Krasnodar. Well, forgive them, Lord, for they do not know what they are doing."
