Quote from Kadyrov: "We can say with confidence that Wagner [Group] ironically proved its effectiveness in military terms and struck a conversation on the need for the private military company. Without a doubt, this kind of professional training is needed and necessary.

Therefore, I am seriously planning to compete with our dear BROTHER Yevgeny Prigozhin [Head of Wagner Private Military Company – ed.] after finishing my work in the civil service and create a private military company. I think everything will work out."

Details: In Russia, officials have begun to create private military companies. For example, in addition to Prigozhin's Wagner Group, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu also has his own PMC.

Earlier: According to the White House, the Wagner PMC has lost more than 30,000 mercenaries wounded and killed since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
