Vladimir Putin continues to pour money into the Wagner PMC. For the Russian dictator, the Wagnerites are personal special forces that can take part in hostilities and carry out various massacres.
The head of the Kremlin urgently needs such personal special forces, which is why the Wagnerites have aviation, tanks and other. About thisChannel 24said the Russian oppositionist Gennady Gudkov.
Why does the Russian dictator PMC “Wagner”
To some extent, the criminal group PMC “Wagner” acts for Putin's alternative to the regular army. In some areas, Yevgeny Prigozhin's mercenaries showed themselves even better than Russian regular troops.
Putin keeps them (Wagnerites – Channel 24), including in order to have control over the generals, – the Russian oppositionist noted.
At the same time, the Russian dictator keeps the generals in order to have control over Prigozhin. And the owner of PMC “Wagner” is for Putin an alternative to Ramzan Kadyrov. Thus, the head of the Kremlin has been playing his games for the past 20 years.
Is Putin losing control over the Wagnerites
Gudkov noted that a certain retreat into the shadow of the Wagnerites is the manipulation of the Kremlin. This is not due to the fact that Putin may lose control of the criminal organization, since it is highly dependent on him. Yes, the Russian dictator can simply prohibit the recruitment of people among prisoners or stop providing weapons.
“There is no process of uncontrollability there yet. It may arise when Putin is completely weak and everyone will understand that he is no longer solving anything “, – suggested the Russian oppositionist.
According to him, the head of the Kremlin is getting weaker every day, but so far this is only the beginning. However, as soon as Putin “goes down”, everyone will start playing their games.
