Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Andrei Troshev to take command of the so called volunteer units fighting in Ukraine. The highly decorated colonel is seen as the de-facto replacement for Prigozhin.
Former U.S. Defense intel officer Rebekah Koffler discusses additional aid pledged to Ukraine and the U.S.'s decision to launch an unarmed ICBM in California., during a meeting in the Kremlin aired on Russian TV, gave orders to a senior leader of the infamous Wagner Group to take command of"volunteer units" fighting in Ukraine and to ensure that they perform their"combat work" in the"best possible way".
"Nothing would change," promised Putin, so long as the fighters formally signed up for service with the Russian army and swore allegiance to the motherland. That person was Torshev. Despite the fact that many fighters were nodding in agreement, Prigozhin, who reportedly sat upfront and did not see his team’s reaction, apparently rejected the offer in a move that probably sealed his fate.
A portrait of Wagner Group's chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, who died in a plane crash two months after launching his brief rebellion, lies on flowers on the grave at the Porokhovskoye cemetery in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2023. Unlike Prigozhin, Troshev is undoubtedly the man of the state or"gosudarstvennik," a term that Putin often uses with pride. In 2016, Troshin was awarded, by presidential decree, the title of Hero of the Russian Federation and the medal of"Gold Star", the highest military award, for his service in Syria, against the militants of the Islamic State.
