In Russia, the conflict between Kadyrov’s comrades and the leadership of PMC Wagner is intensifying. The Chechens even hinted at Prigozhin’s physical removal.
Conflict between heads PVC Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin and close associates of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov have been serious and public in Russia. The reason for the scandal was Prigozhin’s comment about the unit’s militants Akhmat. In particular, he said that he did not know where they were and what the “Kadyrovites” were doing in Donbass.
What the Chechens did not like
Ramzan Kadyrov’s “right hand” and State Duma deputy from Chechnya, Adam Delimkhanov, was the first to pay attention to Prigozhin’s words.
“Of course, Zhen, you don’t understand and you shouldn’t understand. Akhmat’s units do all the tasks assigned by the supreme commander. If you don’t understand something, you can get in touch. Indicate the place and time, and we will explain what you do not understand,” said Delimkhanov.
He also recalled the conflict between the “Wagnerites” and the Russian Ministry of Defense and accused Prigozhin of an unjustly large number of losses of the invaders near Bakhmut.
“You have become a blogger and you are shouting to the whole world that we have problems and there is no ammunition … We all know how many people were put in the direction of Bakhmut for 7-8 months, you are the leader . .. Stop talking and shouting. Tell the place where and when we will meet,” Delimkhanov threatened.
Another Kadyrov ally, the head of the Chechen parliament, Magomed Daudov, even hinted at Prigozhin’s physical removal.

“In the statements you always imply that someone needs to be shot… So I tell you, for such statements … in the Second World War, in the Great Patriotic War, they will be immediately put on the wall,” Daudov wrote on Instagram, by the way, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and banned.
“Don’t forget, Zhenya, thanks to whom you have a private military company, planes, helicopters, SZO, etc., you also declared that you have the first army, the f*ck has the second army. If going you still at that speed, there is no good Throw the location, and anytime, anywhere, as a man and my wife, we will meet and talk,” said Daudov.
A strange fact
Following the statements made by Delimkhanov and Daudov, the commander of the special forces also made a statement. Akhmat Apty Alaudinov. He said his unit was “one of the most combat ready on the battle line.”
“Without fifty thousand people, there would be no planes, tanks, helicopters, etc. like Prigozhin!” Alaudinov said.
He also added that many militants from PVC Wagner transferred to special forces Akhmat and that “there is no secret here.”
It should be noted that a day before the public debate between Prigozhin and Kadyrov’s entourage, Russian media reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Apty Alaudinov. As the propagandists say, the parties discussed the situation under the direction of Maryinsky. Alaudinov said that “the president is in perfect control of the situation in this direction.”
Yesterday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the truth of Putin’s conversation with the commander of special forces Akhmat.
“Yes. This is true. Putin often talks with the heads of departments,” Peskov said.
Prigogine’s reaction was moderate
Prigozhin responded to the threats of Kadyrov’s entourage. He sees nothing wrong with his words about the unit Akhmat. On offer “arrows” from the Chechens, the owner PVC Wagner said: “All participants in this discussion know me very well, including closed special phones, and have the opportunity to contact me.”

At the same time, Prigogine noted that he maintains his opinion about the need to punish the highest-ranking officials of the Russian Ministry of Defense “for mistakes that led to the death of personnel and other NMD problems.”
“This is my opinion, I will continue to insist,” he said.
“Who gave you the right to talk?”
The co-founder came to the defense of Prigozhin PVC Wagner, famous Russian neo-Nazi Dmitry Utkin. He more aggressively invited the “Kadyrovtsy” to talk like “man to man” and reminded them of their acquaintance from the First and Second Wars in Chechnya.
“I will begin. I am talking to the head of the Chechen parliament, Mr. Magomed Daudov … Where did such familiarity come from, which gave you the right to address “you” and “Zhenya”. We ourselves cannot receive those plane, helicopter, SZO from you … Talk like a “man with a man “is always ready. Especially since we know each other since the 1st and 2nd wars in Chechnya,” said Utkin
As you know, Magomed Daudov first fought for the Russian Federation in the First Russian-Chechen War and, betraying his people, went to the side of the Russian invaders at the beginning of the Second Chechen War.
“Dangerous” Wagner
The conflict between Prigozhin and the Chechens was commented on by the Russian terrorist Igor Girkin (Strelkov). According to him, Kadyrov weighed all the possible “pluses and minuses” of friendship with Prigozhin and defined him as “unnecessary or harmful as an ally.”
“Prigozhin’s group cannot offer Kadyrov what he needs (and he certainly does not need the “system change” that Prigozhin has accelerated with his actions so far). He is not only against the “military “and political take-off” of “Cook”, but he is also willing to actively stop him. And it’s serious,” Girkin said.
He claims that behind Prigozhin there is a group – the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation Sergey Kiriyenko and the Kovalchuk brothers – the closest associates of Putin since the time of St. Girkin noted that Prigozhin had previously actively and publicly sought an alliance with Kadyrov. Because for him it was a strong blow and a challenge.
“And here it is not possible to threaten or ‘play sledgehammer’ (the Chechens have their own ‘sledgehammers’ and they know how to use them for a long time and better”), added Girkin.
