Prigozhin spends more than $100 million per month to fund Wagnerite operations in Ukraine.

Currently, there are approximately 50,000 Wagner PMC mercenaries in Ukraine, including 10,000 contract soldiers and 40,000 prisoners from Russian prisons. About this on Friday, December 23, The Hill wrote with a link to the coordinator for strategic communications of the US National Security Council, John Kirby.

“It is clear to us that PMC Wagner is becoming a rival power center for the Russian army and other Russian ministries,” he stressed.

He said they could not recruit the required number of contract soldiers in the PMC. Because of this, they decided to recruit criminals.

“Yevgeny Prigozhin and other company officials are recruiting convicts from prisons to fight on the front line as they face problems recruiting other Russians,” he said.

Kirby also noticed that some of the prisoners sent to the front were seriously ill.

Kirby pointed out that Prigozhin was spending more than $100 million a month to finance Wagner’s operations in Ukraine, and that his private army was fighting alongside Russian troops. At the same time, the representative of the National Security Council emphasized that Prigozhin was driven by the desire to influence the situation in Russia and his relationship with the President of Russia Vladimir Putin.

Recall that British intelligence assessed the tactics of the “Wagnerites” near Bakhmut.

Earlier, the SBU detained a Russian agent in Odessa who was in contact with the Wagner PMC headquarters.

In addition, in the occupied Kadiivka, Luhansk region, an explosion occurred at the Zhdanov Guest House hotel, where the headquarters of the Wagner PMC mercenaries is located.
