Putin's "Second Army of the World" feels a lack of resources and a violation of his defense coordination. About it reports the newspaper The New York Times. According to the publication, the problems faced by Putin's army pose a threat to recently seemed rare military success of Russia - the victory in the long battle for Bakhmut.
As a result of brutal battles within the city, Russian troops were forced to retreat from standpoint in the vicinity of Bakhmut, as well as to suffer losses in the people of colonels. Yevgeny Prigogin, in turn, criticized the leadership of the Russian army, claiming that the soldiers did not receive sufficient security, and the soldiers left their position on Wagner's flanks.
The public conflict between Yevgeny Prigogin and the Russian Ministry of Defense again raised Moscow's ability to succeed in the battlefield, where coordination between different units plays a crucial role. This situation raised doubts about the effectiveness of the Russian forces. "One way of keeping Putin in power is that he likes to have several factions and he likes that factions compete with each other.
It can make sense in politics, but it is very, very harmful during a military operation," - said Senior Researcher at the Institute for Foreign Policy Research of Ukraine Rob Lee. We will remind, on May 5 on the network there was a video where the head of the PEC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigogin showed the corpses of his mercenaries, as well as the inspection of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoig and the chief of the General Staff Vasily Gerasimov.
