🇷🇺‼️This is the new leader of the Wagner group‼️

According to many sources, Prigozhin's successor could be 61-year-old Andrei Troshev, better known as "Sedoy" ("Sit").

Exactly 18 months since the start of the war in Ukraine and a day after the alleged death of Wagner's leader👇 Image
Yevgeny Prigozhin, who, according to Russian media, died in a plane crash in the Russian region of Tver, there is already widespread speculation in Russia about his successor.

As the newspaper Kommersant writes, even earlier, five days after the failed rebellion of the Wagner 👇 Image
group, Putin met with Prigozhin and a number of senior Wagner fighters, and in the context of uncertainty about the future of the Wagner group, Putin proposed that they be commanded by a senior commander named Andrey Troshev instead of Yevgeny Prigozhin. 👇 Image
Putin then offered Wagner's fighters several options for continuing their work, including the possibility of continuing to fight under Troshev. According to European Union sanctions documents, Andrei Troshev goes by the nickname "Sedoy" (Sit), 👇 Image
and is a retired colonel who holds the position of executive director of the Wagner Group.

He was born in April 1953 in Leningrad, today's Saint Petersburg, Putin's hometown, in the former Soviet Union, where he graduated from the Artillery Academy. 👇 Image
European Union documents detail Troshev's role as "chief of staff" in the Wagner Group's operations in Syria, where the group supported the Syrian government under Bashar al-Assad.

"Andrei Troshev directly participated in the Wagner Group's military operations in Syria." 👇 Image
He particularly stood out in the Deir ez-Zor area. "His key contribution to Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian regime," the documents said.

Troshev was closely associated with several prominent figures in the Wagner Group, including founder Dimitriy Utkin (who reportedly died 👇 Image
on the plane with Prigozhin). A veteran of many wars, Troshev was in Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War and distinguished himself in the North Caucasus, particularly in the Chechen War, while serving in the Russian military.

He was also the commander of SOBR, 👇 Image
the special rapid response unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. For his services, Troshev was twice awarded the Order of the Red Star for services in Afghanistan. 👇 Image
In 2016, he received Russia's highest honor, "Hero of Russia," for leading the attack on Palmyra in Syria against Islamic State terrorists. Image

🇩🇪🔥🇪🇺‼️Berliner Zeitung: An era has ended - The time when Europe could rule the world is over‼️

The expansion of BRICS and moving away from the dollar speaks of the unwillingness of the countries of that alliance to obey the rules dictated by the West, writes 👇 Image
the German newspaper "Berliner Zeitung".

"The era when Europe could rule the world has long passed," the newspaper points out and states that in Asian geopolitical institutes such as those in Hanoi, Vientiane and Phnom Penh, the European Union is not perceived as 👇 Image
an independent world political player, but as an "addition" to Washington.

The author of the article also recalled the words of the President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, who said that it is time to start using local currencies and alternative payment 👇 Image

🇺🇲🔥‼️ALARM - The collapse of American dominance: A fateful decision was made in BRICS‼️

The West has serious cause for alarm. His dominant position has never been more precarious.

🇺🇲🇪🇺🇺🇦💥🇷🇺‼️After the delivery of the F-16, a real war with Russia will follow‼️

The transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine represents a slap in the face of the USA to all initiators of peace negotiations and agreements. 👇 Image
They were simply shown their place in the struggle of Americans for their interests. This was stated by the Russian politician, Sergei Markov.

"The transfer of F-16s to Ukraine is a gateway to the supply of various other Western weapons systems." 👇 Image
Because many types of rockets and glide bombs and other weapons systems could not be delivered to the Ukrainian army, because they cannot be used on the Soviet MiG and Su aircraft that are now in Ukraine.

However, they can be used on the F-16, 👇 Image

🇺🇦💥🇷🇺‼️Continuation of the war is the only option for Zelenski‼️

Tension in Ukrainian society is growing due to the return of a large number of veterans from the front.

Oleg Tsarev, a former member of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, spoke about this in a statement to the media👇 Image
"I constantly communicate with someone from the Ukrainian side and follow the mood. The frontliners are coming back, but there is no work. There they received high enough military salaries, although not as high as in Russia, and now they have no work. 👇 Image
They perceive themselves as heroes, and when there is no work and there are high demands, it makes the situation very difficult. They come disgraced - we fought, and in Kiev they stole and made money from bribes. All this causes very strong tension," said Tsarev. 👇 Image

🇺🇲🇺🇦💥🇷🇺‼️Colonel McGregor: The Russian army will reach Lviv if the US does not want peace‼️

The Russian army will reach western Ukraine if the US and its allies do not start negotiations to resolve the conflict between Kiev and Moscow. 👇 Image
This was said by Colonel Douglas McGregor, former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson.

"We failed in everything we wanted to achieve in Ukraine." 👇 Image
What we really need now is to stop the fighting and reach an agreement that we probably won't like.

But that must happen before the situation gets out of control," the officer warned.

If Washington continues to hesitate and refuse to sign a peace deal, 👇 Image
