The head of the "Wagner" PMK

Yevgeny

Prigozhin

is going to take advantage of Russia's military defeat after the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces.

He is already preparing the information ground for the fact that the Russian Armed Forces will suffer another defeat.

This was announced by analysts of the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

The report states that Prigozhin published an essay in which he said that Ukraine's counteroffensive would be more likely to succeed than fail.

He warned that the "deep state" of the Russian Federation, which consists of financial elites, oligarchs and officials, is in crisis. 

According to Prigozhin, the "deep state" is engaged in sabotage in the Russian Federation and prevents it from achieving "victory" in Ukraine.

Also, according to Prigozhin, it is necessary to ignore the interests of the "deep state" and to continue fighting in Ukraine until the "victorious end".

"Prygozhin stated that the Russian military cannot stop fighting now, despite Russia's current territorial acquisitions, because the Ukrainian state has been transformed, and unoccupied Ukraine is now politically opposed to the Kremlin," the report says.

In his opinion, any military defeat will lead to a "surge of national feelings" in Russia.

"Radical national feelings will rise as after any military defeat, the Russian military industry will start working with tenfold effort," he wrote.

In it, he also noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are well prepared for a counteroffensive and have no deficiencies in military equipment.

Earlier, the Russian opposition journalist and human rights defender Mark Feigin said that 

Yevgeny Prigozhin

 is dangerous for the Putin regime, because he is not under the control of the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation and has political ambitions.
