Russian President Vladimir Putin sided with his defense minister over the Wagner Group founder, Girkin said.
last February. The Wagner Group has played a critical role in Moscow's efforts to win control of the town of Bakhmut in Eastern Ukraine
However, relations between Prigozhin and Shoigu—who has faced criticism from some pro-Russian military experts as the Ukraine invasion stalls—have frayed in recent months. Prigozhin has repeatedly accused Shoigu of intentionally depriving his troops of ammunition and support, and has pulled his troops from Bakhmut. Meanwhile, Shoigu has decided all voluntary soldiers fighting with Russia would be required to sign a formal contract with the Russian Federation by July 1, including the Wagner Group, whichWagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin attends a meeting in Moscow on June 16, 2016.
The Russian leader has sided with Shoigu, ruling that Prigozhin must listen to the defense minister's commands, Girkin said in recent remarks that were translated and posted to"We can say that now it is very likely, based on the fact that after the meeting with the president, which apparently took place yesterday or the day before, Prigozhin is silent and has lost definitively and irrevocably," he added.
Girkin said Prigozhin will"likely" try to delay the execution of any orders requiring him to obey Shoigu, even if those mandates come from Putin himself, because the Wagner Group leader believes Russia may still rely on his forces to make progress in Ukraine.Allegedly, a few days ago a meeting between Putin and Prigozhin took place and there are rumors that Prigozhin needs to obey Shoigu's orders.
