Wagner is engaged on multiple fronts, but its battlefield worth is in question—most recently in a seemingly unending & futile attempt at capturing #Bakhmut. But why would a famed outfit struggle so much?

Studies on #Wagner, a unofficial quasi-state military apparatus, illustrate #Kremlin shadow efforts aimed at enabling foreign policy objectives.

Simply, Wagner brings to bear the levers of organized violence where (official) #Russian forces cannot.

This violence is an enabling force, but also a restrictive one. It is, in effect, Wagner's primary capability.

All other internal efforts (media, power-projection, political maneuvering) are oriented towards enabling and maintaining this capability.

🇷🇺 Selon des infos obtenues par le renseignement US, un des #siloviki de Poutine lui a directement exprimé son désaccord sur sa gestion de la guerre en Ukraine.

La loyauté inconditionnelle dont a bénéficié #Poutine est en train de s'effriter.

Cette critique, venant du cercle proche du maître du Kremlin, démontre que les événements en Ukraine fragilise le pouvoir russe.

Cette information a été jugée suffisamment importante pour être intégrée dans le briefing quotidien de #Biden sur le renseignement. #Poutine
🇷🇺 Les reproches faits à #Poutine concerneraient la "mauvaise gestion de l'effort de guerre" et les "erreurs commisses" par les chefs militaires qui "exécutaient" la campagne militaire russe.

La legione di Libertà della Russia #СвободаРоссии⬜️🟦⬜️ è quella componente dell’esercito ucraino #ЗСУ composta integralmente da russi.

È cresciuta da piccola squadra, poi plotone, compagnia e oggi ha dimensioni di un battaglione.

Breve 🧵.

A comporre questo reparto, sono russi di diverse età provenienti dalla vita civile, riservisti e disertori delle forze russe.

Il loro simbolo è la bandiera russa priva del colore rosso, a significare la chiusura di un passato sanguinario.
#СвободаРоссии /2 Image
Ispirazione diretta alla nascita del movimento è la presenza, scenica e brutale, di reparti bielorussi della #ЗСУ attivi su tutti i fronti, come la Konstantin Kalinowski, vera falange armata delle proteste antiregime del 2020.

Nelle ultime due settimane sono state adottate sanzioni contro la cerchia di #Putin. In Occidente si pensa che così facendo, potremmo assistere ad un regime change a #Mosca per mano degli alti ranghi. Perché questo potrebbe non succedere mai? (1/8)🧵
1) Innanzitutto è necessario definire a quale gruppo di fedelissimi ci si riferisce. Ad oggi, gli #oligarchi (intesi come “businessmen”) sono stati soppiantati dall’establishment nell’ambito della sicurezza, i cosiddetti #siloviki.
Se Putin riesce a controllare i siloviki, non dovrà poi preoccuparsi così tanto degli uomini d’affari. Questo non significa che figure come Roman #Abramovič non contino niente, ma che è più sensato far pressione più sui siloviki che su un Oleg #Deripaska.

Schlüsselfrage fürs politische Überleben #Lukaschenko|s bleibt Loyalität der #Siloviki. Kommt es zur Spaltung dieser Gruppe, sind die Tage des Regimes gezählt. Durch heutige Kaderrotationen scheint Luka auf den Geheimdienst und nicht das Militär zu setzen

Mit Valery Vakulchik als Staatssekretär des Sicherheitsrates, Ivan Tertel als Leiter des Komitees für Staatssicherheit (KGB) und Igor Sergeenko als Leiter des Präsidialamtes sind drei leitende KGB-Angehörige an den innenpolitisch wichtigsten Sicherheitshebeln der Macht.
Andrei Ravkov (2014-2020 Verteidigungsminister der Republik #Belarus) ist nach seiner Absetzung als Staatssekretär des Sicherheitsrates entmachtet. Seine zukünftige Verwendung bleibt unklar.
