Former FSB officer, ex-leader of the Donbass separatists Igor Strelkov (Girkin) commented on the statement of the founder of the Wagner PMC Evgeny Prigozhin about the termination of the set of prisoners in PMCs.
“I believe that the cessation of the set is caused by the” command from above. “And (after some time) will seriously affect the ability of Wagner to successfully storm the position after the position, as is now under Bakhmut. Just due to the lack of sources of replenishment of large losses in the infantry. From the estimates of the expediency and correctness of such a measure – I am refraining, since the “stick about the two edges,” Girkin wrote in his Telegram channel.
The only hundredth time I repeat: “Death battalions” cannot win the war in the absence of normal military discipline and order in the rest of the army. And the army (judging by numerous messages and videos to the president from the side ” Mobikov “)- everything remains in the same” amazing “state (in terms of supply, weapons, providing elementary nutrition and uniforms, etc.) and demonstrates the same signs of decomposition that our media” lure “and” cheers ” The military commissar “when discussing the problems of the Armed Forces (Armed Forces of Ukraine – Ed.),” He believes.
