This statement came on the last day of the campaign for the mid-term elections in the United States, which will clarify the situation for the rest of the term of the presidency of the US President Joe Biden.
These elections may pave the way for Donald Trump's return to the White House.
In September this year, the Russian businessman confirmed that he founded the Wagner group, whose members have been at the forefront of Russia's attack on Ukraine.
After this very important announcement, many analysts believe that Yevgeny Prigozhin is eyeing a possible political role in Russia.
It should be noted that for the past several years, Wagner has been suspected that this group is playing a role in the fulfillment of Russia's goals abroad, however, on the other hand, Moscow has always denied any connection with it.
The group's presence has been reported in war-torn areas such as Syria, Libya, Mali and the Central African Republic, where the group has been accused of abusing state power.
It should be noted that mid-term elections are being held in the United States on Tuesday, November 8.
