Military Rebellion Prigogine: The expert told if Wagner PVC will be able to seize power in Moscow

According to the British analyst Mark Galeotti, Moscow is surrounded by a large number of troops and security forces, which are subordinate to various agencies. Moreover, Wagner PVC is very dependent on the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Wagner PECs and their commander Yevhen Prigogine will not be able to seize power in Moscow. British political scientist and military expert Mark Galeotty spoke about it on April 29 in his podcast about Russian private military companies.

According to him, starting a Kremlin storm is not so easy, since Moscow is surrounded by a large number of troops and units that are subject to different agencies. The expert stated that the Russian capital can be protected by the Taman and Kanemir Division of the Ministry of Defense, the Division of the Dzerzhinsky Rosgvardia, numerous FSO, FSB and Ministry of Internal Affairs forces.

Galeotti said that the protection of different agencies is a meaningful course that should make it impossible for a military coup. Then the analyst stated that Wagner PEC had about 30 thousand people. We will remind that today Yevgeny Prigogin said that it has 25 thousand people. This can be compared to the forces that protect Moscow. Moreover, as Galeotti reported, Wagner PVC is not a self -sufficient structure that depends entirely on the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

Especially in matters of supply and transport. "If Prigogine or someone else wanted to start a coup what would they do? Would a request to the Ministry of Defense to take them to Moscow without pointing out? Will go to Rostov-on-Don and buy 20,000 tickets for the train to Moscow? It's so simple, "the expert said.

It should be reminded that on the evening of June 23, the head of PEC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigogin stated that Russian troops, controlled by the Ministry of Defense of Russia, fired at missiles of the position of his mercenaries in the rear. He then said that the Council of Commanders made a decision to rebel against the military leadership of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
