Prigozhin should have taught: why does United Russia have its own PMC?

Why does Medvedev need PMCs “Espaniola”

Sergei Zhirnov noted that the Wagner PMC was liquidated. They were forced to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense. In November 2022, the aggressor country passed a law equating PMC employees to military personnel who serve in the armed forces under contract.

It seemed to me that that after the rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin, everyone in Russia realized that PMCs are a very dangerous structure. PMC “Wagner” has now been liquidated. They were all forced to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense. Those who did not want to fight were fired, he said.

According to a KGB ex-agent, the creation of the Espanyol PMC was only required by the party leader Dmitry Medvedev. Perhaps he needs PR to show that he is doing something. He can also benefit financially.

“In order to redirect financial flows through such a structure. Because PMCs are different in that everything is “black” there, no one for which he is not responsible. You can swindle billions, as Prigozhin did for almost 10 years. He swindled Putin’s money,” added Zhirnov.
