State Duma deputies refused to bring up the conflict between PMC Wagner and the Ministry of Defense for discussion. The company’s founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, accused the command of refusing to supply its fighters with ammunition to the front line.
“I don’t want to talk about private military companies at all!” And what about the Ministry of Defense, if they are private? Private means private. There is an owner of the company, he probably has profits, ”quotes the NSN, a member of the Defense Committee of the State Duma, Lieutenant General Viktor Sobolev.
A similar post is held by Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Yuri Shvytkin, who said he does not want to enter the designated dispute.
Earlier, Prigozhin said that the Chief of the General Staff and the Minister of Defense ordered not to give ammunition to the “Wagnerians”. The businessman equated the command behavior with betrayal. To solve the problem of supplying the fighters, the founder of the PMC was called to apologize.
