Close followers of Russia are keeping a close eye on emerging tensions between the Kremlin and the head of Russian private military company, the Wagner Group.
It's well known that there's no love lost between the outspoken Wagner Group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and Russia's Ministry of Defense; Prigozhin has openly and repeatedly criticized the ministry's most senior officials, including Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, in expletive-laden rants slamming Russia's military strategy in Ukraine.
But now, however, tensions appear to be emerging between Prigozhin and the Russian leadership, putting him in a precarious position with the Russian president. The ministry claimed that "this will give volunteer formations the necessary legal status, create common approaches to organizing comprehensive support and fulfilment of their tasks,"Prigozhin reacted to the announcement with characteristic defiance, stating Sunday that "Wagner will not sign any contracts with Shoigu," adding that the order did not apply to the Wagner Group.
The U.K's defense ministry remarked on rising tensions Thursday, noting that "for several months, Wagner owner Yevgeny Prigozhin has been aiming vitriolic criticism at the MoD [Ministry of Defense] hierarchy but deferred to Putin's authority."
