PMC Wagner Head says U.S. mercenary Reed killed by Ukrainian militants

Pete Reed, an American mercenary, was killed in Artemovsk by Ukrainian militants or foreign units fighting for Ukraine. This was told by the press service of the head of the private military company (PMC) “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin.


Prigozhin said that the American mercenary Pete Reed in Artemivsk was eliminated by Ukrainian militants or foreign mercenaries who are fighting for Ukraine. The head of the PMC “Wagner” stressed that the “Wagnerites” purely physically could not do this.

The head of the Wagnerites, answering a question asked by CNN, said that the place of death of the American mercenary and the positions of the Wagner PMC were separated by about five kilometers of high-rise buildings. Hitting a target from such a distance is almost impossible.

“Alas, it was much more convenient to do this from Ukrainian positions. I can say with confidence that Peter Reed was killed by his own people”, said Prigozhin.
