Deputy Defence Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, Prigozhin and Vladimir Alekseev, first deputy chief of the General Staff Department, sitting on a bench in the courtyard of the captured headquarters of the Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don.

Prigozhin: ...they shoot at us, and we shoot them down.

Yevkurov: Did you shoot them down?

Prigozhin: We did. The third one already. And we'll shoot them all down if you send them.

Yevkurov exhales heavily.

Prigozhin: Because you are hitting civilians. You're destroying civilians. You just destroyed a bus with people, and you have no conscience about it.

Yevkurov: First of all, this is the first time I've heard of it. And let's not generalise.

Prigozhin: I'm talking to you "on a first-name basis", why are you "on a first-name basis" again? Who are you to talk to me "on a first-name basis"?

Yevkurov: I didn't say "you".

Prigozhin: Huh?

Yevkurov: I didn't say "on a first-name basis". I'm saying: don't generalise. If you are just "on a first-name basis" with me....

Prigozhin: Yes, I speak to you "on a first-name basis".

Yevkurov: If you're just "on a first-name basis" with me, then yes. But let's still think - what are we doing?

Prigozhin: We came here. We want to get the Chief of the General Staff and Shoigu.

Alekseev (laughing): Take it away! Take them away!

Prigozhin: While they are gone, we are here, blockade the city of Rostov and go to Moscow.
