Two of these armies are private. They are managed by Kadyrov and Prigozhin.
Russia already has three armies, and soon a fourth will join them. At least two of these armies are private.
“Today, there are three armies operating in Russia, two of which are the private armies of Prigozhin and Kadyrov, another army will soon join them, and this indicates that the war situation in Russia is no longer centralized. It is getting out of control and the private armies of Prigozhin and Kadyrov are not from a good life,” Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said in an interview with NV.
According to him, the decentralization of the army means a lack of trust in the army. Danilov noted that there are no and cannot be private armies in Ukraine.
“Because we have a single commander-in-chief, we have a single commander-in-chief, we don’t have such that someone has his own army. Besides, I keep thinking that Putin is scared to death of Ramzan Kadyrov, because his father was killed by Putin’s people, and I I think that if Kadyrov respects the laws of his people, he should take revenge on Putin,” he explained.
According to him, it is time to create the fourth army in Russia. Danilov clarified that his army will soon be formed by the power structures of the Russian Federation.
Internal strife in the Russian Federation
An internal split is gradually brewing in Russia. Analysts are sure that Putin’s successor is a matter of survival. In Russia, the leader can be forgiven for anything, except military defeat.
There was also information that the oligarch Prigozhin was undermining Putin’s regime. According to the Russian mass media, Prigozhin wants to create his own political force, the goal of which will be the revival of the Russian Empire.
Meanwhile, the confrontation between the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the private military company “Wagner” has been going on for several months. It has intensified now, when Prigozhin and the Ministry of Defense are reporting in advance about the capture of Soledar. However, the city is still standing.
Yesterday, the leader of the private military company “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin publicly entered into a confrontation with the Russian Ministry of Defense for the first time. He said that his mercenaries are “constantly trying to steal the victory”, alluding to the department’s report on the alleged capture of Ukrainian Soledar.
Minister Reznikov stated that the leader of the “Wagner” PMK Yevgeny Prigozhin is trying to show that his mercenaries are more effective than the Russian army. He is interested in the monetary reward for the capture of Soledar.
