While the number of attacks in and around Bakhmout has decreased significantly, according to l’Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and that experts increasingly agree that “the Wagner offensive will not be enough to seize Bakhmout”, it is another information related to the paramilitary militia founded by Evgueni Prigojine which currently creates stupor and sends shivers down your spine. PMC Wagner is said to have put a price on the head of Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, at the request of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, a loyal supporter of Vladimir Putin. A information confirmed and taken very seriously by the Italian intelligence services.
Strongly criticized for several weeks on the internal clandestine networks of Wagner, Crosetto had still recently accused the men of Prigojine of orchestrating the waves of migrants landing on the Italian coasts, which had earned him several insults, in particular from the “cook of the Kremlin” who had called him a “mudak” (asshole in Russian). Medvedev had called Crosetto an egomaniac, a traitor. A betrayal that would go so badly with the former President, to the point of asking for the neutralization of this influential member of the Meloni government. And Prigojine would have fixed the bounty, 15 million dollars. Two Wagner cells present in Europe (Serbia/Albania and Estonia) would have been activated under contract. Already under escort, Minister Crosetto has not, for the moment, given in to panic, nor reinforced the security arrangements.
Meanwhile, the incident with a drone in the Black Sea continues. Russia has said it wants to fish out the American drone that it is accused of having caused to crash in the Black Sea and which, according to it, proves the involvement of the United States in the operations in Ukraine, Washington announcing for its part to investigate the Moscow’s motives in this incident.
On Wednesday evening, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu considered that one of the causes of the incident was the “reinforcement“American spy operations.
