Expert Nikolai Davydyuk said that the Russian president mistakenly considered himself safe while watching the conflict between Yevgeny Prigozhin and Sergei Shoigu. According to him, both officials are ready to eliminate the leader.
Political wars continue in the Russian Federation, in particular the conflict between the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu. Political scientist Mykola Davydyuk described the conflict to Channel 24 journalists on May 11.
“Putin thinks he’s safe as long as this disagreement between Prigozhin and Shoigu continues. But I don’t think so. Neither is against liquidating Putin. It’s just an ongoing struggle, who’s faster, who’s better Who’s brighter. West or “Whoever gets the first confidence from the Ukrainians that we will help them disappear into the vast expanse of Africa will most likely organize it,” he said.
According to the political scientist, the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense may join forces with the Chinese leader. The political scientist is sure that Xi Jinping does not sympathize with Putin. The expert suggested that Shoigu could be Putin’s successor.
“I think the fight for Putin’s legacy has already begun here. And Xi Jinping, like a notary public, will paint this legacy of Russia. His homeland is China rather than Russia,” the expert said.
Davydyuk said that as a shrewd politician, Shoigu could prepare secret diplomatic negotiations that were beneficial for the minister himself and the PRC. According to the political scientist, they can cause division in the aggressor country.
“The future plan without Russia may not be public and may be written by Russian generals together with China. This is also a challenge for the West to be Western rather than pro-Chinese,” he said.
The expert said that Ukraine should present to the world its own vision for a future without Russia. Discussing this issue could become one of the topics of pre-election debates in the United States, according to Davidyuk. The political scientist is confident that Joe Biden and Donald Trump will most likely join the discussion.
Recall that on May 9, the press service of Yevgeny Prigozhin published his statement about the lack of ammunition due to the “grandfather”. According to the head of the enemy PMC “Wagner”, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation accumulates shells instead of supplying them to fighters.
Then, on May 10, Andrei Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region, commented on the disagreements between Yevgeny Prigozhin and Sergei Shoigu. According to him, Russian officials determine which one will be responsible for the defeat of Russia in the future.
