Betrayal at Wagner PEC: The Kremlin successfully disrupts Prigogine group - ISW

American analysts say that Wagner commander Anton Elizarov (Call sign "Lotus") reported that Andrey Troshev (Call sign "Gray") went with the PVC with another commander - Vadim V. ("Khrustal").

According to Elizarov, Trozev never commanded Wagner units and was part of the Council of Wagner commanders, but at the same time Prigogine repeatedly called his personal representative and chairman related to the "Wagner" of the so -called "league of protection of interests of veterans of local wars and military conflicts.

" According to analysts, Trochev was a trustee of Prigogine and, while working with Wagner ", established links with the President of the Russian Federation Putin and the Russian Defense Ministry. Trozev turned to the Kremlin's head on behalf of Wagner, and on June 29, Putin identified him as a Wagner PEC, connected with the Kremlin.

The commander of PEC Prigogine with the call sign "Chaklun" said that Khrustal, who was managing the PEC personnel department, invites the Wagnerians to move to a new group, which should carry out their operations on the African continent. Related to the "Wagner", the military and PEC commanders criticized Trozev and Khrustal for cowardice and a number of professional mistakes, claiming that Wagner commanders did not leave the group.

The departure of Troshev and Khrustal, consider analysts, can indicate a split in the leadership of Wagner - a certificate that the efforts of the Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation aimed at disbanding Wagner, were at least partially successful.

Analysts believe that the Russian military-political leadership uses Troshev and Khrustal to recruit "Wagner" and their commanders, promising to participate in new military campaigns in Africa, and at the same time create conditions to prevent Prigogine's contingent to continue surgery in Africa and . Public criticism of Troshev and Khrustal on the part of the PVC indicates an attempt to keep other commanders and representatives of Wagner from departure.
