Cadyrov and Prigogine can blame the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of failures in Bakhmut - isw

Analysts are convinced that Putin's chef will try to keep his face in the event of Bakhmut's loss and will not want to repeat the "Wagner's stolen success" in Soledar, when the Russian Defense Ministry assigned his "merits". Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov and the head of the Wagner PEC Yevhen Prigogin can create conditions under which regular Russian troops, as well as the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, can be considered ineffective and accused of failures in the Bakhmut area.

This was reported in the report of the Institute of War Study of May 6. American analysts noted that in the decision of the chairman of the Wagner PEC on the transfer of responsibility for the situation in Bakhmut on their colleagues in power structures, there is a deliberate word about the northern and southern flanks of "Wagner" around Bakhmut Airborne troops of the Russian Federation.

According to the researchers, this decision reflects the distrust of Prigogine in the Russian command, separates his position and allows not to lose his face, if the forces of "Wagner" do not cope with the task of capturing the city. Also, Prigogine does not want a repetition of the situation with the delight of Soledar, when the Ministry of Defense of Russia, he said, appropriated all his achievements.

For his part, Chechnya's head can benefit if he is involved in participation and success in such a high -profile operation, based on the popularity of Prigogine. The transition from Wagner to Akhmat can create all the conditions for accusing the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in potential future failures if Kadyrov's units face the same difficulty.

However, on the other hand, ISW analysts note that without the support of allies from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Kadyrov and Prigogine are unlikely to be able to capture Bakhmut, which, for their part, can be expressed in the power department of Russia.

We will remind, on May 5, the chairman of the PEC "Wagner" Prigogin recorded a video showing the corpses of his mercenaries, and also sharply spoke to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoig and the head of the General Staff Vasyl Gerasimov. According to him, the lack of ammunition in his mercenaries reaches 70%, which is why PVC suffered tremendous losses among personnel.
