The towers of the Kremlin are getting bigger.

Previously, at least some consolidation was observed around its leader, Vladimir Putin.

However, after the start of a full-scale war, it became clear that everything was not going according to plan.

So, new towers began to sprout in the Kremlin.

Among them, the most notable can be called the "Prygozhin Tower".

This was said by the head of the independent international intelligence community Bellingcat, Hristo Grozev, in an interview with Glavkom.

"Currently, I am watching how additional towers appear. That is, there are more of them. That's true. In the last two or three years, Putin's cook was constantly offended because he could not maintain his subjectivity in the structure of "Wagner", he was forbidden to earn from with the help of his private army in Africa. Not to mention that he was not invited to participate in the war from the beginning. So he had to invite himself. And in the end he proved his superiority over the Ministry of Defense. He is the one who creates the center today attraction for the formation of a new tower," Hristo Grozev noted.

He added that there is a new branch in the tower system.

And this is only worse for Putin, because it calls into even greater doubt the stability of his power.

"And, by the way, one day the group of "hawks", united around Prigozhin, may eventually dislodge Putin. However, they will not enjoy power for too long, because the departure of the previous leader from it will automatically be a signal for the still oppressed Russian elite. The latter will everything to organize a "free Russia" in which the owners of large capital will live better," Grozev said.

The head of the independent international intelligence community Bellingcat also spoke about the relations of the Russian dictator with the power bloc.

"Since he is increasingly dominated by a paranoid perception of reality, he is afraid of all security forces. Most of all, of course, "Wagner". In general, in my opinion, when he wakes up every Monday, the Russian dictator is terrified. Because he has to figure out for himself how to do this , in order to pretend to be a person with real power for the whole next week. That's why every Monday he is afraid of what will happen by Friday," Grozev added.

Let us add that Oleksiy Danilov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said: the head of the Kremlin, Putin, was afraid of the influence of Prigozhin, as well as the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, and decided to remove them from the information field in Russia.
