UK Intelligence says Russia forms a new "volunteer" corps for the war against Ukraine

UK Intelligence says Russia forms a new "volunteer" corps for the war against Ukraine

The Russian authorities are currently actively engaged in creating a new "volunteer" corps, which, in particular, recruits experienced fighters of the "Wagner Group". British intelligence officers report this.

Russia's National Guard once again to throw a vast number of Wagner mercenaries on the Ukrainian front

The Ministry of Defense of Great Britain found out that dictator Putin's team was convinced that it was able to eliminate any potential threats from the "Wagner" group.

The scouts noted the fact that the newly appointed leader of the Wagner mercenaries, Anton Yelizarov, with the call sign "Lotos", made his first video message after the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin and former mercenary field commander Dmitry Utkin in August of last year.

Interestingly, Prigozhin's successor, during the video address, even described in detail the location of the new "Wagner Group" HQ in the "Cossack camps" in the Rostov region.

According to Yelizarov, the "Wagner Group" allegedly intends to place a new "Volunteer" corps of Russia's National Guard at the new base.

Foreign spies underline that this indirectly confirms the subordination of Wagner's group to Russia's National Guard.

Russia's National Guard to decide the fate of Wagner Group amid the Russo-Ukrainian war

According to the data of the Ministry of Defense of Britain, Russia's Guard began to actively form a new "volunteer" corps of experienced fighters of the "Wagner Group" not only to strengthen Russia's military efforts in Ukraine but also to expand Russian influence in Africa.

The Russian state highly likely authorised the construction of Wagner's new base and highly likely perceives that by subordinating Wagner to Rosgvardiya [Russia's National Guard - Ed.], it has removed any potential threat Wagner may pose to the Russian regime security, British intelligence officials say.

Notably, part of the "Wagner Group" still fights on the Ukrainian front.

The introduction of peacekeepers into Ukraine. What is the main problem?

Only two allies are ready to fully support Ukraine
Source:  The New York Times

On March 27, a meeting of the "coalition of the willing" was held in Paris, during which the introduction of foreign troops into Ukraine to deter Russian aggression was actively discussed. As of today, only France and Britain support the idea of deploying "pacification forces" in Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • Italy supports sending troops as part of a UN mission, while Poland has rejected this possibility altogether, adding to the lack of unity.
  • Accelerating negotiations for a ceasefire and ensuring financing and supply of weapons are crucial steps towards resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

Only two allies are ready to fully support Ukraine

French and British leaders Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer have said they are ready to deploy "peacekeeping forces" to Ukrainian soil after the war ends.

According to Macron himself, the contours of these forces are still being refined, and details about who is prepared to do what are still scarce.

As journalists managed to learn, "this has increased the sense of ambiguity surrounding diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the fighting."

We must accelerate negotiations to achieve a ceasefire, we must accelerate our ability to finance and supply weapons, and prepare plans for the Ukrainian army and peacekeeping forces.

What is important to understand is that Italy wants to send troops if they are part of a UN mission, while Poland has rejected this possibility altogether.

The main problem is that there is no "unanimity" among European leaders regarding the introduction of forces into Ukraine.
