Ukrainian military expert: The Russians have begun the reincarnation of the Wagner PMC
The Russian military leadership plans to use the positive experience of the Wagner PMC for larger-scale offensive operations in February or by the summer of 2024.
Ukrainian military expert Ivan Kirichevsky stated this on the air of the Lvov NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“A story that is clearly read in the public domain, from the heading “Whoever knows how to read between the lines will read it.” It’s just that somehow this was not articulated at an open, unofficial level. Well, the Russians actually went for the reincarnation of the structure of the Wagner PMC. Not in the sense of appropriating the brand itself, and then digging out Prigozhin..., but most likely, creating a large array of their troops from mercenaries.
Even Syrsky recently noted that yes, the Russians are already using this so-called Volunteer Assault Corps in the battles near Bakhmut. This is the Russians’ method to save personnel troops at the expense of mercenaries, whom they don’t really feel sorry for, in order to try to resume offensives in February or summer of this year.
How successful this story with the reincarnation of the Wagner PMC will be is an open question. However, the fact that they are trying to repeat this story, which was successful for them, is a problem that is worth voicing and recording. Because it turns out that they are trying to save resources for larger-scale offensive actions,” Kirichevsky warned.
