Analysts say that the Kremlin does not talk about the role of Wagner's group in promoting the Russian army in the Sledar area. On the live broadcast of Russian television, Vladimir Putin told reporters that the seizure of Soledar was a merit of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Russian Federation. ISW believes that Putin can try to undermine Prigogine's influence in Russia.
Analysts indicated that earlier the President of the Russian Federation did not speak about such promotions of the Russian army in Ukraine. "The Ministry of Defense of Russia, in turn, also continued to report that the assault detachments of the Southern military district of Russia and Russian airborne troops attack Ukrainian positions around Bakhmut, and probably deliberately eliminated the mention of Wagner forces in its daily briefing of January 15," It is in the publication.
ISW experts also noted that Yevgeny Prigogin also attempts to reduce the level of trust in the Russian Defense Ministry. The founder of Wagner Group avoids the direct denial of his conflict with the department, using vague wording. It should be reminded that according to the Institute of War Study of January 13, the confrontation between the Wagner Group and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation continues, but the chairman of the Wagnerians Yevhen Prigogin is leading in it.
