The former commander said Wagner's mutiny had redistributed power among the Russian president's inner circle.
, in which his troops seized military facilities in Rostov-on-Don and marched on Moscow, had succeeded by redistributing power among the Russian elite.
Girkin said the rebellion, which Prigozhin called off, has weakened the positions of Defense MinisterRussian President Vladimir Putin meets with the country's health minister at the Kremlin in Moscow on July 12, 2023. Russian military blogger Igor Girkin said that Putin's inner circle could move against the president.
Girkin said that the group wants to sabotage Russia's military operations and its defense industrial base as well as control of rear areas in the war so that Putin realizes he must accept defeat in the war in Ukraine. The group would also target the Ministry of Defense, Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev, the FSB and other government structures, Girkin added.
The Institute for the Study of War noted Girkin believes there should be a continued grinding war effort and no freezing of the lines in Ukraine, which Prigozhin, among other, have argued for.
