Recruits from security firms will receive higher salaries than PMC Wagner’s mercenaries, the WSJ wrote.
Russian security companies, created by the largest state corporations in the Russian Federation, including Gazprom, are sending their employees to the war against Ukraine. The Wall Street Journal writes about it.
The publication notes that Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly does not want to start a new large-scale mobilization after the draft in the fall of 2022, and that the Kremlin has partially shifted recruitment to the private sector and companies that rely on permanent contracts. of the government.
“In recent months, state-owned companies such as Gazprom have created private security units for this purpose, and existing security companies controlled by former Russian army officers have recruited new members. They partially follow the Wagner terrorist group, but less, but show loyalty to the Putin people on the front line,” the article said.
The WSJ wrote that, according to public job postings, they pay their recruits a higher salary than Wagner PMC mercenaries receive.
Recall that in February GUR reported that Russian Gazprom planned to create its own private military company.
