"We crossed state borders in all places. Border guards came out to meet us and hugged our fighters. Now we are entering Rostov," the Prigozhin's press service said on Telegram.
Prigozhin said that "Wagnerites" fight only with professionals.
"But if someone gets in the way, we will destroy everything that gets in our way... We move on, we go to the end," said Prigozhin.
