Prigozhin saves Wagner
Prigozhin went to St. Petersburg (where Putin was also located) to actually decide the fate of Wagner.
“There are suspicions that Wagner will be merged under the military. The troops of the Ministry of Defense in Soledar are now spread out so that it is not very clear who they are blocking: Musicians or the Armed Forces of Ukraine, – the source noted, – Prigozhin flew away “gray”, but promises to deal with the situation at the very top. It certainly doesn’t feel like a win.”
According to the source, Wagner has a big problem with replenishment after serious losses in Soledar and other Ukrainian settlements. “New raids on zones have begun, but it’s like tearing the bottom of an empty pan with a spoon. Everyone who can be taken earlier. There were calculations in Wagner that they would be given “500s” (refuseniks), but so far this has stalled. Prigozhin hopes to push the question through. And they are waiting for a new mobilization, which should add “500s”, – says the source.
