As of June 2, almost all 99% of the Wagner PMC units left Bakhmut. All positions were transferred to the Ministry of Defense,” Prigozhin said and accused the ministry of provocations

“As of today, there are no provocations against us from the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, however, surprises were waiting for us from the other side. We found about a dozen places where various explosive devices were placed, ranging from hundreds of anti-tank mines to tons of plastid. Those who laid these charges, they were representatives of the Ministry of Defense. When asked why you did it, they poke their fingers up. “

Prigozhin announced that he had left Bakhmut. The information regarding 99% is not confirmed to me, but, according to available data, the Wagnerites really handed over the “shaky territory” of the Moscow Region.

Prigozhin’s plan has not changed – to use the front as a stage for political battles.

Prigozhin wins political points only in one case: if Bakhmut collapses after the Russian Defense Ministry enters it.

Then Prigozhin will have the opportunity to overlay the military departments of the Russian Federation with genitals of various calibers.

And not at all because he wants to capture Bakhmut. By and large, each defeat of the RF Armed Forces leads to an increase in Prigozhin’s internal rating – especially among turbopatriots.

So now Prigozhin will be waiting for the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in those areas that are controlled by the Defense Ministry. At a sufficient price, if he wants to play completely dirty, he will probably leak the coordinates of the strategic groupings of the RF Armed Forces to Ukraine (but it’s hard to guess here).

And taking into account the “road races in honor of Prigozhin,” he is fully planning to taxi into the “big game” against the backdrop of a political decline within the elites themselves. Citizens of the Russian Federation do not take part in elections, but they can be relied upon as pawns of political games within elite communities.

Now in the context of Ukraine (after Prigozhin left Bakhmut), a dead Prigozhin is better than a living one. On the other hand, Prigozhin keeps “Putin’s money egg” in Africa, and the death of the head of the PMC will lead to the fact that Moscow structures will start fighting for this egg.

By the way, in the event of a coup (if Prigozhin takes off to the political Olympus), he may not give back “African money”.
