The Ministry of Defense of Russia has issued an order. According to this order, by July 1, every private army unit fighting on behalf of Russia will have to become a part of the Russian Army.
But Russia’s largest private military Wagner Group has refused to make this agreement. The controversy escalated after the Wagner Group refused to comply with the Defense Ministry’s order.
After signing the contract, volunteer fighters will get the same benefits and security as regular soldiers. The soldiers and their families would bring financial and many other facilities from the government if they were killed or injured.
The Defense Ministry recently ordered that all private military forces fighting on the front from Russia will be made to sign a contract approved by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
After releasing this order, the head of Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said he would not enter into any agreement with the Ministry of Defense. Let us tell you that there have been reports of differences between the Wagner Group and the Russian Army several times.
Prigozhin released some videos a few days ago and made serious allegations against the Army. Prigozhin said about Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu that he could not manage the Army properly.
Prigozhin said that his troops in Bakhmut were not getting enough weapons and supplies. No Russian minister or official has responded yet after Yevgeny refused to sign the contract.
However, there are reports that the Wagner Group may refuse to fight other wars in Ukraine. Let us tell you that there have been many severe allegations of human rights violations on the Wagner Group.
Wagner had captured the Bakhmut area for Russia the previous month. America had claimed that more than one lakh soldiers of Yevgeny Prigozhin were killed in this occupation.
Meanwhile, information is being received that the Akhmat Group of Chechen Special Forces has signed a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry. Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the Chechnya region, controls the Akhmat Group.
After accepting the Russian Army’s proposal from the Akhmat group’s leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, Akhmat commander Apti Alaudinov said this was a great opportunity. Alaudinov said the unit has prepared and sent thousands of volunteers to Ukraine over the past 15 months.
Let us tell you that, unlike Prigozhin, Kadyrov has recently refrained from criticizing the Russian Defense Ministry. It is believed that the two Russian private armies may clash with each other in the future.
