"I stand corrected. I always need to correct myself where I make claims that are incorrect."

Hello Team!

Jonathan introduces this short addendum video to address the topic of whether the Russian military blogger Semyon Pegov, known as WarGonzo, is alive or not. In a previous video, Jonathan discussed footage that seemed to show WarGonzo being shot in a trench, but new information has come to light.

New video evidence suggests WarGonzo is alive

  • A new video has been released that appears to show WarGonzo alive and well
  • In the video, a man who looks like WarGonzo is seen talking in Russian about the situation on the frontline near Ugledar, Velika Novosilka, and Urozhaine
  • He mentions fierce battles unfolding overnight and the enemy throwing reserves and assault forces to try and outflank Urozhaine
  • The man in the video has WarGonzo's distinctive ginger hair and beard, and is wearing a carabiner on his front, which matches WarGonzo's usual appearance

Analysing the new video evidence

  • The footage of the trees and the mention of recent fighting in Urozhaine suggest the video is from the last few weeks at most
  • This seems to contradict the earlier footage that appeared to show WarGonzo being killed in a trench
  • Jonathan admits he was likely incorrect in his previous assessment and needs to correct himself
  • There are still some odd coincidences, such as the striking resemblance between the man killed in the trench and WarGonzo
  • Jonathan speculates that there may be a WarGonzo lookalike in the Russian trenches, perhaps not acting like a fully trained soldier, which could be unsurprising given the training of some Russian conscripts

Wrap up

Jonathan concludes by reiterating that this addendum video is to correct his previous statements about WarGonzo's supposed death. He invites viewers to share their thoughts on this new evidence and ends the video.
