It became known about the unexpected ally of Prigozhin
There is talk that the Wagner PMC training base can be relocated to the Crimea, there is talk of starting a big alliance with Aksenov’s people.
Firstly, Aksenov – although he came from the Bashmakov group, he managed to unite the Salem people around him. Simply put, the two warring main groups of the Crimea of the 90s (their remnants) agreed to be under it in the format of the state. This is a good indicator for Aksenov as a person who understands and as a leader.
Secondly, Aksyonov himself built a model of power following the example of Chechnya, but Kadyrov had incomparably more resources. And Aksyonov understands that in the light of the misunderstandings of the present time, one can not even pull out on his own, even just stay.
Thirdly, for PMC Wagner, this option is very good, because then the Orchestra will get the main thing – its own territory in Russia, independent of the military and security officers. There are and will be talks about this with other governors, but they do not have Aksenov’s capabilities and are close.
A bunch of Aksenov-Prigozhin can become unexpected and very strong. In strategic terms, it’s better to defend Crimea than to beat your head without reinforcements and ammunition in the most fortified areas.
