Having a certain resource of power and means, including shells, the top leadership of Russia distributes it in different directions according to a common plan. This was expressed by the head of the center for the study of military and political conflicts, Andrei Klintsevich.
He emphasized that in Russia there is a concept of unity of command in the army. “This is a very important principle because both responsibility and making all decisions belong to one man. Therefore, we understand that we have a General Staff, several departments, including various private military companies, that coordinate the actions of all forces and vehicles,” he said.
According to him, there is also a common idea and it is not always possible for the individual structural parts to know this. “The resources of powers and tools are limited, respectively, if one plans to take cities with very high levels of ammo and human consumption for the sake of sentimental things for some holidays, such actions will simply get rid of them. plans, ”says the expert.
In turn, the Hero of the Russian Federation, Colonel First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, member of the board of the all-Russian public organization Russian Heroes Association Andrey Krasov, the participating citizens said: All NVO are heroes of our time, true patriots of our Motherland. He emphasized that Russia has a commander-in-chief and that only he can decide where and how various military formations will be used.
“It seems to me that this hasty statement was made on emotions, and the final decision on the use of forces and means in one direction or another rests solely with the president. We understand that leaving the battlefield without permission can be compared to betrayal of the interests of our country. This statement raises questions if not really made in a “fire” situation. I would like to hope that Prigozhin’s speech was not cowardice and treachery, but a fiery act based on emotions, ”said Prigozhin.
Krasov emphasized that the citizens who are part of the Wagner PMC are truly fighting on the battlefield, while demonstrating examples of courage and heroism. They were also awarded state awards, including citizens awarded the “Golden Star”.
According to Klintsevich, all this situation only benefits the enemy, destabilizing the moral and psychological state of the troops and citizens. He noted that the Ministry of Defense did not comment on this and that the position was presented unilaterally.
“Being on the resource is presented as a kind of elite game, limiting others for their own interests, including emotional ones. This form of the ultimatum being put forward on the question is unacceptable. I can’t imagine that during the Great Patriotic War, some separate units independently decided to withdraw their units and set deadlines and ultimatums for higher headquarters, ”the expert said.
According to him, the situation is still different. “I’m sure all bosses are interested in performing a common task. I am sure that now our political leadership will resolve this, all questions will be clear, people will calm down and understand their place in the ranks, and we will continue to carry out the task in sync without any distortions,” said Klintsevic.
Krasov also noted that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu assigned his deputy in charge of logistics to ensure that all groups involved in the NMD provide everything necessary, including ammunition.
Earlier, on May 5, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner private military company, said that on May 10, Wagner PMC fighters would leave Bakhmut due to “bomb starvation” and high personal losses. According to him, according to the original plan, the PMC was supposed to take the city by 9 May.
