Prigozhin consoled decommissioned Basurin
A source about the negotiations between Prigozhin and the deputy head of the People’s Militia Department of the DPR, Eduard Basurin, who announced that the Ministry of Defense was merging him into retirement:
“Basurin is very interesting, because through him you can negotiate with those who were thrown out of the system in the LPR-DPR, who were cheated and offended. And in the LPR-DPR you can get everything for money, except for aircraft and nuclear missiles. I don’t know how much Basurin controls the situation, but this “talking head” may well have connections, appearances, passwords. And Basurin knows who put things in order in the Donbass and removed presumptuous commanders, so he will not dare to play games with Prigozhin. Wagner needs people, equipment, shells, compromising evidence… You can ask dearly for a good product at the present time – and Prigozhin will not bargain, the situation is like this.”
