Wagner Group’s PornHub recruitment ad says ‘take the other barrel in your hand’
After Russian mercenary army the Wagner Group was prevented from recruiting in prisons, its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was forced to search elsewhere for young men to replace his devastating losses in Ukraine.
And the ingenious solution he came up with was to advertise on adult content site PornHub.
An ad on the world’s 13th-most-popular website showed an attractive blonde woman wearing red lipstick suggestively twirling a lollipop in her mouth.

As the camera focuses on her mouth, she huskily says: ”We are the f*****g greatest private military company in the world, stop w******g and go to the front!"
Another slogan urged viewers to “take the other barrel in your hand" as graphics on screen display a phone number for Wagner Group recruiters.
Prigozhin has admitted that his forces are suffering massive losses in Bakhmut and needed more men.
Praising the new campaign, he said “Who could disagree with the text of this ad?”
The ad has since reportedly been removed from the PornHub platform.
The Wagner Group boss recently shared a gruesome photo from Bakhmut showing lines of his men’s corpses.
Recruits to Putin's secret Wagner Group army told 'don’t have sex with locals or animals'
Unconfirmed reports from Ukrainian officials say that as many as 30,000 Wagner fighters have deserted or been killed or wounded in Ukraine.
Prigozhin has complained that his troops lack ammunition and equipment, saying that he couldn’t tell whether the shortages were the result of "ordinary bureaucracy or a betrayal".
He added: "What if they [the Russian leadership] want to set us up, saying that we are scoundrels – and that's why they are not giving us ammunition, not giving us weapons, and not letting us replenish our personnel, including [recruiting] prisoners?”
Putin 'plans to kill Wagner Group boss who plotted to overthrow him', claim insiders
Kremlin watchers say they have seen signs of conflict between the Wagner Group boss and Putin, as support for the Russian leader wavers due to the military stalemate in Ukraine.
Expert Olga Lautman said that there’s growing conflict between Prigozhin and the Russian leadership : "The FSB and defence ministry have been doing everything to sabotage Prigozhin because they realise they can't have someone like him in power because he is too wild and he challenged the system.
"One example of this was banning his recruitment of prisoners."
She says that while Putin and defence minister Sergei Shoigu would dearly like to be rid of Prigozhin, they are too dependent on his troops to risk a direct confrontation.
