Russian terrorist Igor Girkin is busy playing with Wagner PMC owner Yevgeny Prigozhin. Insults and accusations from both sides have already been used.
However, the more they “nibble” each other, the easier it will be for Ukraine. ThisChannel 24 was told by the military Armed Forces of Ukraine, and before the war by Ukrainian political scientist Kirill Sazonov.
They are preparing not for war with Ukraine, but among themselves
“Girkin and Prigozhin will definitely cling to each other's throats after they lose the war. Perhaps earlier, since events are unfolding rapidly,” Sazonov said.
According to him, in addition to the war in Ukraine, terrorists are fighting in Russia itself for power. Moreover, the latter is more important for them.
Thus, Prigozhin is the leader of a fairly serious group with his allies, including the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. At the same time, Girkin is a “talkative head” and completely different players stand behind him. Therefore, the option that they will unite is unlikely.

In general, Russia has enough conflicts, where everyone plays their own game. In addition to the Wagner PMC, there are several private armies in the aggressor country. In the meantime, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu also wants to create his own.
They are preparing not to intensify the war with Ukraine, but among themselves, – stressed the military Armed Forces of Ukraine.
< p>According to him, if Russia loses the war or the regime falls, there will be no democratic elections like in civilized countries, there will be a massacre – whoever is stronger will take power.
