Yevgeny Prigozhin confirmed the authenticity of the video about the problems with ammunition at PMC "Wagner"

The founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin confirmed the authenticity of the video recorded by the fighters of the artillery unit from the “musicians”, in which they declare problems with ammunition. The video appeared on Russian resources the day before.

Prigozhin commented on the video, confirming that the Wagner PMC is indeed experiencing problems with all types of ammunition and is currently taking all measures to solve this problem. According to the curator of the "musicians", on the eve of the combat general Apty Alaudinov, who is in the hospital, allocated a small amount of 120-mm mines and tank shells from our own stocks, but this is not an option.



In terms of normal deliveries, I've been to all the offices in Moscow that I know of and will continue to do so until the guys get everything they need. Even if they handcuff me in one of the offices and put me in jail for the so-called "discrediting the army"

- declared Prigogine.

The day before, a video appeared on the Web in which fighters from the artillery unit of the Wagner PMC ask the Ministry of Defense to arrange a normal supply of ammunition. According to the fighters, today the "musicians" are completely cut off from their supplies. There are not enough 152 mm shells for howitzers, 100 mm for the Rapier, 125 mm for tanks, and even 120 mm mines for mortars.

We appeal to our colleagues and friends from the Ministry of Defense. We are sure that you have ammunition somewhere in the warehouses. But we badly need them. We will be extremely grateful if you will assist us, help us, and supply this ammunition.

the fighters say.

The situation with the provision of PMC "Wagner" with ammunition has already been called "wild" and requiring the intervention of the Supreme Commander.

              The PR Prigogine is a shame. He enjoys the fact that he can wag anything - he does not serviceman , but a businessman. But the guys from the Moscow Region are bound by orders and they have no right to talk.
              Someday there will be a real analysis of the fighting. Without bloggers, correspondents, the Internet ... It's a pity that even then these issues of "DSP and Secret" will not be made public.

                The PR Prigozhin is when he raises the flag on every video in the liberated towns and cities. And so he voiced the real problem. Apparently, someone is very dissatisfied with Prigogine.

                  "Do not make yourself an idol"
                  Where and on what videos did he raise the flag?
                  "and cities" is plural.
                  What cities are we talking about?
                  If you think calmly and objectively, it turns out that there are no videos with the raising of the flag.
                  But in your perception there is!
                  I’ll make a reservation right away - Wagner PMCs are fighting perfectly.
                  That's just about the cities taken (plural number) are out of the question. But this does not at all beg for the merits of the PMC fighters.
                  But in your perception it IS.

                  And so again: "Do not make yourself an idol"

                  And remember that Prigozhin ≠ PMC Wagner.

                  It's like someone doesn't like Prigogine very much. For example, one of the governors is very worried about Prigozhin's popularity. I do not at all claim that he is behind this lawlessness, but it is certain that the one who is behind this is worthy of disgust. People's. Least.

          Finally, laughing began to reach many here
          Or maybe exactly the opposite - it has ceased to reach at all.
          Firstly, Prigozhin ≠ PMC Wagner.
          Prigogine is just a manager hired by a certain INVESTOR.
          Secondly, did PMCs receive weapons and ammunition from the Ministry of Defense or buy them?
          From the statements of Prigozhin (we have everything of our own: artillery, aviation ... even flew as a navigator)) it follows that they acquired it themselves.
          From the statements of PMC fighters: the Moscow Region stopped supplying ammunition (that is, they received it from the Moscow Region)
          There is some kind of contradiction.

            In your opinion, Prigogine should have his own factories for the manufacture of ammunition, what kind of stupidity is it that someone at the top starts that soldiers may die, start that because of not supplying us they can be defeated.

              But he also says that PMC Wagner has its own artillery (and of all calibers), its own aircraft, MLRS, etc.

              But he does not have any aircraft factories, there are no factories for the production of artillery and MLRS. All this is not there, but all this equipment is - so he bought it (since it is a PMC).
              If so, then he must buy ammunition.

              Although I don't think that's the case. There are no problems with ammunition, perhaps some kind of temporary failure.

          "PMC Wagner is the only unit that is currently successfully attacking."

          I repeat.
          There was such an attacker in CSKA, Vagner Love, a very good striker.
          I don’t remember exactly who CSKA played against, but the events unfolded as follows: the game was generally equal, Akinfeev carried all the balls, CSKA’s defense spread in tackles, CSKA midfielders plowed the entire field, and only one player Wagner could be said to be jogging. I remember watching and thinking why Gazzaev would not replace him? It was somewhere in the 80th minute of the match, the score was 0-0, and then suddenly Wagner got the ball, beat three defenders and scored the winning goal. Cool goal, Wagner's merit was undeniable.
          I just think if Akinfeev did not drag the balls, and the rest of the field players would not plow the field, could Wagner's goal be victorious for CSKA?
          ---
          In other words, if now the Russian Armed Forces suddenly stop exerting pressure along the entire front (or even worse, they bring down the front along the flanks of Wagner PMCs), then I strongly doubt that Wagner (in this situation) will not be surrounded.

          PMC Wagner is fighting very well, but Wagner's success is largely a consequence of the efforts of the Russian Armed Forces in other sectors of the front.

          What the position of the leadership of the RF Ministry of Defense is designed for is nowhere clearer: the goal is the complete subordination of the PMC "Wagner" to the structures of the RF Ministry of Defense, either by reorganization and inclusion directly in the Armed Forces, or (at least) by changing the leadership. - Tolerate arrogance (that's how, I'm sure, Shoigu perceives Prigozhin's activities) and competition Plywood Marshal does not categorically intend to - it calls into question his status as "crown prince".

        Especially against the backdrop of a lack of ammunition for our military group in Ukraine, the appeals of military correspondents to start the next wave of mobilization in Russia look like.
        If it is not possible to fully provide ammunition for an already belligerent grouping, then how to provide the recruited grouping in a new wave of mobilization? or do we want to follow the path of Ukraine and throw their meat at them?.

And upon receipt of money to conclude contracts with manufacturers. Factories supply products to the MOD, and the MOD provides PMCs in the NWO area. Otherwise, this terry bureaucracy cannot be broken through. Any audit will tear off three skins for the transfer of PMC property. It seems that the LDNR corps had the same problems.

          Under Stalin, it sometimes happened much worse, which was why I was forced to utter the phrase - There will be no shells, there will be no comrade Dolgikh. It was not about one unit, but about supplying the entire Army in general. Interruptions with ammunition to one degree or another were throughout the war for a bunch of objective reasons, even if there were a sufficient number of them in the rear. And then, many of our stilted-sofa experts had a wrong understanding that the resource of shells in the Russian Federation is simply not exhausted, here you are right, if under Stalin the Wagner artillerymen managed to shoot so many large-caliber ammunition at such low efficiency, they would have been shot a long time ago as a warning to others. With such a density of artillery, MLRS and not only in this area and the number of shells fired, nothing should have been owed from Bakhmut and its environs for a long time it was simply left by definition. The question is, are the Wagner artillerymen hitting there and for what purposes? It’s stupid to plow the surrounding fields with 152 mm shells, and then write appeals that they don’t have them vata, you don’t need much mind.

            Otherwise, videos are already coming out where the fighters (they say that Wagner) explain the number of their losses by the alleged lack of ammunition from the Moscow Region.

        And you will see that yes - there are bureaucrats and always have been, and there have always been and always will be mistakes in planning ..
        And the physical impossibility to do something differently - was, is and will always be ...

        If we transfer to 1941 the current criticism of the General Staff, then Zhukov for his losses as the NGSh, only near Minsk for 10 days of the war, 200 total losses, apparently they would have demanded to be impaled, not otherwise ...
        What would they demand now for the death of day 2 full-strength battalions left without any fire support?
        And yes, to the question of punishing the military. By the beginning of the war, there were 1400 generals in the spacecraft, about 3 more were assigned to the war.
        56 of them were shot. All in all...

          It would be nice to find out if the PMC (after all, private) bought or received weapons and ammunition like the Russian Armed Forces?
          Judging by the previous remarks of Prigozhin (we have our own artillery, aviation, etc.) and the current statements of the fighters (so that the Defense Ministry continues to supply ammunition), some kind of contradiction arises.
          Either you don’t have to yell that we have everything of our own, or stop complaining that they don’t supply you.
          Maybe corny, the real INVESTOR (not Prigozhin) stopped paying?

        And how to fight now further, how and who will liberate Artemovsk.
        The generals were transferred to Russia, there were bureaucrats from the army.

        Rogers reacted very precisely to this in his article on Conte
        This war has already been won (moreover, what is most offensive for various "unrecognized geniuses", without their participation and contrary to their foolish ideas of how it should be won). It was won at the moment when, instead of a highly maneuverable war, our General Staff imposed a positional “standing” with an attrition war on the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
        Strictly by the textbook: Attrition warfare is a military strategy consisting of belligerent attempts to win a war by wearing down the enemy to the point of collapse through continuous losses in personnel and material.

        Or in Russian: War of attrition is a military strategy consisting of successive attempts to win by bringing the enemy to the point of collapse through continued losses of personnel and materiel.
        Ukrainian materiel has long been destroyed, the Soviet legacy of the former Warsaw Pact countries as well, now the remnants of Western stocks are depleted.

        ---
        The task of taking cities is not the main one. The main task is to deplete the enemy, which includes not only the destruction of equipment and manpower, but also the reduction of the production capabilities of the rear (attacks on electrical substations).
        ---
        Cities and settlements will be taken after the resistance of the enemy in it will be noticeably suppressed. What is happening at the front now.
        So taking Artemovsk at any cost is just ruining the fighters.

Debaltseve at one time took something from 24 thousand people in a month. And there they took not only him.

        For many generals of the Arbat Military District, Prigozhin and the Wagners are very uncomfortable figures - they are not afraid of anyone, they fight boldly and effectively without regard to retrograde rules and regulations

        The Russian Armed Forces and PMCs have different degrees of responsibility to the country.

        So the losses of the Russian Armed Forces and the losses of PMCs are perceived by the population all the same in different ways.

        PMCs can afford more risky operations than the Russian Armed Forces.

        For example, we do not know the losses of PMCs during the storming of Soledar, the media and military correspondents do not cover this (the impression is that those who finance PMCs own many media resources).
        What can not be said about the losses of the Russian Armed Forces - they quickly become public knowledge (as if the same media resources are specifically distributing them).
        ---
        Let's not forget that the West's calculation is not based on the victory of Ukraine over Russia, but on the fact that our losses will be significant, and this will raise a negative anti-war wave, which will eventually destroy the country.

        From here, the Russian Armed Forces are forced to fight in such a way as to minimize the loss of personnel.

        ---
        For example, if the Russian Armed Forces take Avdeevka by storm within 1-2 days and at the same time suffer losses, say, up to 30000 people. Here is how the population will react to this success: will it be jubilant or will it be shocked by the losses? I think it's the last one.

        What can not be said about PMC Wagner, about the losses of which no one says anything.
        And yes, the Wagners are real pros during the assault.

        The problem may be different: PMCs must independently pay for weapons and ammunition.
        Otherwise, you can yell for a long time like "we are a separate army."
        If the supply of PMC Wagner was entirely on the Russian Ministry of Defense, then why was it necessary to yell that we have our own artillery of all calibers, our own aviation, etc.
        And the ammunition, it turns out, is supplied by the Ministry of Defense?
        Should this be dealt with?
        Secondly, even if there was a hitch in this matter, then why yell about it?

The fighters who are registered and work in this company are now fighting, shedding blood and dying not for her, not for the good, but for the state, for Russia, for our security, and the country is obliged to provide them with everything necessary for this free of charge and also say thank you.

      Yes, shell hunger is everywhere. It's not just the Wagners who have this problem. They are just the bravest guys and were not afraid to voice it. The stock of Soviet ammunition before the SVO was something like 18 million units. Back in January, the balance figure of 2,5 million units was announced. At 40 thousand tons per month, only heavy ammunition was spent in the summer. And there are more than 20 units in a ton. I have already said that all these "three shifts" are dust in the eyes. If Russia produced 5000 shells per month before the SVO, and it is necessary to increase production by 200 times, then you simply cannot achieve this. I can where I confuse the bit depth of numbers, because I quote only what I heard, but nevertheless.

      In the end what? Spring or summer will come. The shells will finally run out. Ukraine will be given military equipment, equipped with Western remnants of shells, and they will roll towards Russia as they rolled under Balakleya. Well, it's obvious. For a whole year, smart people were babbling about the mobilization of the economy, and they were considered traitors and tspsoshniki. In our Avdeevka direction, they have recently begun to shoot noticeably more, but not by much. There is no summer noise yet. And the noise of the last March-April is even more so. Although they shoot more often than in the first half of January. But this is still not enough.

The estimated production of large-caliber artillery shells in the Russian Federation, before the start of the SVO, is about 2 million pieces per year. The current output is about 6 million pieces.

It is simply a vessel into which water is poured from one end and poured from the other. And with such alignments, it is quite obvious that it will soon be empty. 20000 shells is nonsense. One battery easily lays down 1000. Now I hear a battle in the Avdeevka direction. Projectiles land on average at an intensity of one projectile per five seconds.

        And this WHO TO started the fight for victory in the elections of 2024.

          In order for Putin not to be discredited through the failures of the Moscow Region, the Moscow Region simply needs to be more successful. It's simple. Why not take the entire Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration while little Wagner takes small Artemovsk? And the "correct" Defense Ministry, even near Svatovo, does not show great success. Tales about the genius of moving 2-3 km a week, and in the version back and forth, are rolled only for ordinary people with an IQ below 40. Maybe in order not to be accused of jambs, you just need not to mow, for example?

            This topic has already been discussed.
            I repeat.
            The Russian Armed Forces and PMCs have different degrees of responsibility to the country.

            So the losses of the Russian Armed Forces and the losses of PMCs are perceived by the population all the same in different ways.

            PMCs can afford more risky operations than the Russian Armed Forces.

            For example, we do not know the losses of PMCs during the storming of Soledar, the media and military correspondents do not cover this (the impression is that those who finance PMCs own many media resources).
            What can not be said about the losses of the Russian Armed Forces - they quickly become public knowledge (as if the same media resources are specifically distributing them).
            ---
            Let's not forget that The calculation of the West is not based on the victory of Ukraine over Russia, but on the fact that our losses will be significant, and this will raise a negative anti-war wave, which will eventually destroy the country.

            From here, the Russian Armed Forces are forced to fight in such a way as to minimize the loss of personnel. Less risk - less success, less loss.
            There are no such restrictions for PMC Wagner. More risk - more success, more losses.

            ---
            For example, if the Russian Armed Forces take Avdeevka by storm within 1-2 days and at the same time suffer losses, say, up to 30000 people. Here is how the population will react to this success: will it be jubilant or will it be shocked by the losses? I think it's the last one.

      But Prigogine is also not without sin in this situation. I think it was not in vain that he shouted, they say, "only Wagner storms Soledar", "only Wagner provides for Bakhmut / Artyomovsk." And when the Moscow Region reported on this as a general success, they were poked, saying "only Wagner." "Well, only Wagner is just Wagner," they rightly reasoned there. I understand that playing politics in such a situation is not very correct, but Prigozhin was clearly trying to score a goal against someone with his "only Wagner". Didn't he think that they wouldn't try to score a response?
      And the consumables in these games are ordinary soldiers. As always.

It is quite obvious that this is a structure under the FSB, the GRU or another secret special service of the Russian Federation. Can't you give them something? Is it true? How did they get it before?

      . It turns out that the generals have their own stocks of ammunition, which they dispose of at their discretion and can transfer them to private companies.

        The general has his own ammunition - which is for the unit. So he can conditionally reduce the consumption (or, on the contrary, save up - roughly speaking, spending 20-30-100 shells / day with a supply rate of 300) and, under his own responsibility, transfer, for example, to the neighboring part, where the butt is or to the PMC. But if inside the army this is still regulated, then in the PMC it is actually Prigozhin who publicly drew a criminal for the general.

          The stocks of the unit and own stocks are different concepts. The ammunition belongs to the MoD and its transfer to a neighboring unit that is part of the MoD is quite understandable.
          The article deals with the transfer of a private organization, which is not officially subordinate to the Ministry of Defense.
          Prigozhin officially announced that supplies had been cut to him, which means that the general did not have an order to transfer ammunition. It turns out that this is his personal initiative, I suspect that it is not gratuitous.
          In fact, you can reduce the expense, but how to account for it? There is a rate of consumption of ammunition, if saved, then the pest, transferred the savings to third parties, doubly a pest.

      It seems that the generals at the top are draining ...
      I will give the last comment of I.I. Strelkov:
      Regarding Prigozhin's statement that the Russian Defense Ministry either stopped supplying the Wagner with ammunition altogether, or put the PMC "on a starvation ration":

      1. Believe it or not, I was expecting something like this from day to day. I am even surprised that such a statement was made much later than the appointment of Fanerny's faithful mongrel - the cretin Gerasimov - to the post of commander-in-chief of the NWO. Even the thought arose - is Plywood really a little smarter than it seems from all his previous frills? - But, as you can see, Sergei Kuzhugetovich knows how to defend his reputation .... As for the rest, Wagner probably had problems with the supply of ammunition immediately after the dismissal of Surovikin, but the PMC held on and even continued to advance due to previously accumulated stocks.

      2. What the position of the leadership of the RF Ministry of Defense is designed for is nowhere clearer: the goal is the complete subordination of the PMC "Wagner" to the structures of the RF Ministry of Defense either by reorganization and inclusion directly into the Armed Forces, or (at least) by changing the leadership. - Tolerate arrogance (that's how, I'm sure, Shoigu perceives Prigozhin's activities) and competition Plywood Marshal does not categorically intend to - it calls into question his status as "crown prince".

      3. I don’t gloat even once (because I can imagine what it’s like for the front line soldiers in the “hottest” direction at the moment). I also consider it below my dignity to even discuss in absentia with Prigozhin about anything ("not a horse's fodder"). But for the reader, I remind you that it was precisely the critical problems with ammunition (which I DID NOT GIVE) that forced me, for example, to first leave Slavyansk before the enemy completed the complete encirclement of our garrison (and the encirclement itself took place primarily due to an acute shortage of weapons and ammunition), and then - served as the main argument for my untimely "voluntary" resignation in the encircled Donetsk (where, however, they managed to drag convoys with weapons and equipment along the field roads for the "Vostok", "Oplot" garrison of Gorlovka - but not for Slavic brigade).
      Let's see what Prigogine does.
      While the Wagner (thank God!) is not surrounded, however, 140 mortar 120-mm mines and 20 tank shells "donated" by Apti Alaudinov - with such a heat of battle and such a number of combat units - this is never funny, but very sad. There can be no question of any continuation of offensive operations in such a situation - God forbid that the positions achieved be maintained at the expense of internal reserves.

      4. If the situation with the supply of "Wagner" does not change, one can safely forget about the complete mastery of Bakhmut for the near future, and in general.

      5. I don’t know if Prigozhin’s statements were heard in Novo-Ogaryovo, but respected Kyiv partners heard them for sure. And they drew the appropriate conclusions. We should expect their counterattacks in Bakhmut and its environs, until "they come to their senses" in Moscow.

      6. Shoigu once again (hundredth? thousandth?) times confirmed that he does not care about everything except personal ambitions - on people's lives, on "foreign" military successes, on the outcome of the war. Therefore, I recall my recent answer to the question: "Shoigu or Prigozhin?" - "Both are worse!"

      7. Objectively, as the Shoigu-Prigozhin conflict grows, the internal political situation in the Russian Federation continues to heat up due to the complete self-removal of the president from the duties of the supreme commander in chief (and, possibly, not only from them).

      In general, if you put aside emotions, it is very similar to a lure for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The PMCs that are storming Artyomovsk have no shells. The conflict between PMCs and the Moscow Region has gone public. Video message of ordinary fighters. And even Prigozhin himself about how he unsuccessfully knocks on the thresholds of high offices, but cannot get ammunition. What does it look like? On the situation in which the Kiev regime is cooked every day.
      Let's assume this is true. Then what should the APU do? Of course, collect everything that is in the area and conduct a counterattack to push the PMCs away from Artyomovsk. With the appropriate media company, as they like it on Bankovaya. In order to receive not so much military as media bonuses, which Zelensky and his company really need now. At the same time push Zaluzhny and push Syrsky.
      But there may be a double bottom. If they trample on the offensive, and the conflict between PMCs and the Moscow Region turns out to be a bluff. The offensive will be repulsed with heavy losses for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Which will lead to the impossibility of further holding the area. There will simply be no one to defend Artyomovsk. Which makes the task easier for us. it will not be necessary to pick all these invaders from basements and trenches.

          I do not believe, but I admit this option. Yes, I remember what mouthpieces wrote about "high-speed regroupings." BUT! I also remember about the blow with a sledgehammer. Where was the video. And there seems to be some doubt. A few months later it turned out that nothing happened. I believe that this was a demonstration action to maintain discipline among the recruited prisoners. Of course, I am not familiar with Prigogine, but in my opinion this person is not simple. And he can easily throw it away.

        Of course, collect everything that is in the area and conduct a counterattack to push the PMCs away from Artyomovsk
        And this is not at all excluded.
        Suppose an INVESTOR (not to be confused with Prigozhin) stopped paying for the purchase of ammunition as before. What will the Wagner fighters do in the absence of ammunition?
        Will be forced to retreat.
        And here the op will begin that the Moscow Region is to blame for everything, and not the "cunningly opy" INVESTOR (not to be confused with Prigozhin).

      I’m more interested in how the supply of ammunition, weapons, military equipment is carried out from the arsenals of the Defense Ministry of PMCs, which, from the point of view of Russian legislation at the moment, not only do not exist, but they are absolutely illegal, an article is provided for their creation and service in them .
      Well, there is always not enough ammunition, especially if you just shoot in the direction of the enemy, without normal reconnaissance and target designation. However, this misfortune is even more pronounced for parts of the Defense Ministry than for PMCs. The arsenals go to the "lunar landscape", and therefore the art warehouses began to show the bottom. And we are also proud to write that we have long spent more missiles alone than the United States had enough to completely defeat the Iraqi army.

      This was to be expected. With such an insane consumption of ammunition over the course of a whole year, it was clear that they would still run out, even with huge reserves dating back to the times of the USSR. It is not surprising that restrictions appeared and a good reason to put the Wagnerites on starvation rations. It seems that our command doesn’t like the fact that everyone talks only about them and they have at least some successes and real things to do. Against the background of the “successes” of our army, this looks like dissonance. It turns out that this is not a very good picture for our many star generals. Some small PMC skillfully beats the enemy, moves forward, takes cities and towns, and the army men act as extra observers standing in one place. So much for the predictable reaction to this. Like, don’t get ahead of the “father” and don’t put him in an awkward position. And Putin may be told when Prigozhin comes to him to complain that before the upcoming offensive it is necessary to create ammunition reserves. It’s a pity for the fighters from Wagner, the guys are trying, they fight, they don’t serve their number, but our generals can discourage them from any desire to do this. This cannot be allowed. Those who are trying to do this need to be kicked out of the army. And in their place put those commanders from Wagner who especially showed themselves there.

      It is clear that no PMCs can exist in the Russian Federation without approval and support at the very top. The very, very top. Further, it is known that the Moscow Region cannot tolerate Wagners, and this began long before the North Military District. When the Wagners tried to squeeze out an oil plant in Syria, the Americans called the Russian military and asked: “Are these yours?” They answered: “No, kill them.” And the Wagners were mixed with soil. And this is very unusual, because the American army is on good terms with American PMCs, and so are other Westerners. Why? Probably, the Ministry of Defense knows that the Wagners were created (or were made at some point) as a counterweight to the army. And only one figure can create a counterweight to the army (or give the go-ahead for its creation).

      And behaving in public space the way Prigozhin behaved recently is also only possible with the highest permission. He began to “damage” the Defense Ministry in the media, pretending that he was dragging through the entire war alone, making proposals to the State Duma, “closing YouTube” and even getting involved in foreign policy. People fell out of the window for less. But literally in the last days the cook received two crushing blows: first he was deprived of prisoners, and now he was deprived of shells. And again, this could not be done without the consent of.

      And there are two options. Or Prigozhin, intoxicated by permissiveness, went wild and began to seem dangerous to the highest patron himself. Or the security forces (probably not only from the Moscow Region) were able to cooperate and push through the beheading of the arrogant upstart. All this is reminiscent of the story of Ernst Roehm and his stormtroopers.

        Prigozhin could have addressed at least the President without informing the public. But he addressed not the President, but the public.

        Most likely, he has already addressed the President before. It’s good that the army is ceasing to be a system tightly closed to society. And now not only the enemy knows about her problems, but even us. In this sense, Prigozhin has no price.

      thoughts out loud about this situation of a purely civilian “jacket”.
      1. Immediate legislative registration is required for the existence of private military companies on the territory of the Russian Federation.
      2. any citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to be elected president of Russia if there are no questions about the legislation of the Russian Federation.
      3.the previous work history of a candidate for the presidential post does not matter...even if he was previously a “Chaldean” - a restaurateur, a historian and a “toy” FSB colonel from the 90s, or even a corporal in his army.
      4. stopping the supply of "Wagner" with desperate personnel from prisons and the shell hunger deliberately created by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the "Wagner" PMC, indeed, is unfair competition among Russian security forces.... with the prospect of the 2024 presidential elections.
      5. And it has already become clear to the last donkey that a candidate for the presidency of Russia in 2024 can only be a person who has a solid power structure behind him. a state tailored for one person will painfully survive a change of power with a simultaneous change of elites.
      6. the fact that a change of president is inevitable, just look carefully into the dull eyes of V.V. Putin on the TV screen, a complete lack of energy, strange behavior, expressed in a manic desire to hide from everyone and everything... the person has simply completely exhausted himself in a quarter of a century on the galleys.

      It’s boring to work at an ammunition production plant... the workshops sometimes take off for the whole shift... Working without smoking for 8 hours on a 3-shift schedule is not at all ice-breaking. The director could recruit a full complement of workers for 6-hour shifts. But the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation only counts 8 hours as a full working day.

      “PMC Wagner has never had and has no connection with the Russian army,” Prigozhin said.
      From here I conclude that logistics and procurement of used supplies is carried out by PMC structures. Purchases can only come from factories, which, by the way, do not belong to the Ministry of Defense of the Armed Forces, but are subordinate to the Russian government.

      From the very beginning, he had an extremely negative attitude towards the creation of private mercenaries under the control of one person. For dirty deeds in Africa, it will do. But placing the main hope in a real war on them is criminal and extremely dangerous. The state must have an army, period. There should be no national battalions of any republics or private military companies! The fact that Wagner ultimately fights better and bolder than most of our combined arms units is a question for the generals. It’s a shame, disgrace and bewilderment why this was allowed to happen. And I consider the increase in weight of Comrade Prigozhin to be a risk of the collapse of the country and a military coup. It smelled like the Middle Ages, then, too, army commanders often fell before the temptation to ascend the throne with bayonets.

      What's so surprising about that!? We have factories for the production of shells and mines left... well, maybe two. Of course, they now work in three shifts, but with such required volumes they can hardly cope. Add here the wear and tear of the equipment and the time it takes to constantly repair it. We don’t have any other factories! Our “valiantly patriotic” Rostec ruined and sold other factories. Well, the shortage of specialist workers also affects the volume of military products produced.
