Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed a former Wagner Group commander to “focus on creating volunteer units” to fight in the war in Ukraine, a month after the death of mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and other Wagner Group mutineers.
“Last time we met, you said that you would focus on creating volunteer units which will fulfill various combat missions, including in the zone of the special military operation,” Putin told former Prigozhin aide Andrei Troshev. “You know what it is like, how to do it, and what issues should be addressed in advance to ensure the best possible and the most successful fulfillment of combat missions.
“You maintain contacts with the comrades you fought together with, and you continue to fulfill combat missions now,” the Kremlin chief said. “I would like to say again that social guarantees must be the same for everyone who took part or is taking part in combat missions, regardless of their status.”
“Maybe they thought it would scare our soldiers. In fact, that showed Russia needs new meat for the grinder,” Ukrainian Colonel Serhiy Cherevatyi told Politico’s European affiliate. “I see nothing special in their return. Wagner is no longer a powerful force. Those who returned are far from being in a good fighting mood, as they know what to expect here.”
