The units of the Russian Federation fight for influence, although they have not achieved visible success at the front in Ukraine - ISW

According to analysts, discussions between units coincide with reports on the arrival of Kadyriv military formations to the front. Wagner PEC, Sparta Battalion and Operational-Tactical Compounds "Cascade" and "Rusich" are already sharing influence on Russian society and political leadership, although no significant success has been achieved. This was stated by analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW).

The new report of June 2 states that the individual forces of the Russian invaders are trying to give themselves the "laurels" of victory. It is about the capture of Bakhmut and Marinka, although there are no victories. It is noteworthy that the discussions between the units coincide with reports on the arrival of military Cadyriv formations to the front.

Analysts believe that the support of such disputes between military groups of the Russian Federation is aimed at undermining the ability of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov's head to use any offensive tactical successes to increase his authority in Russia. According to analysts, many Russian military formations can be outraged by Ramzan Kadyrov's attempts to take responsibility for possible success at the front after a few months of offensive operations.

ISW says the capture of Marinka can only bring the Kremlin a minor information benefit. The settlement itself has neither tactical nor prompt value. Recall that on June 2, new photos of Bakhmut have appeared on the network after fighting. The invaders hit the House of Culture. Martynov in Bakhmut in September 2022. Then all the walls turned black inside. Now, having survive the winter, the room is in a miserable state.
