Kadyrov plans to create his own PMC

He wrote about this on his Telegram.

Kadyrov said that he was inspired by the "efficiency" of Wagner PMC. According to him, Prigozhin's group proved the necessity of creating private military companies.

"We can already say with confidence that Wagner proved its military effectiveness and concluded the need for private military companies. Without any doubt, this kind of professional training is needed and necessary. Therefore, I seriously plan to compete with Yevgeny Prigozhin and to create a private military company upon completing my civil service. I think everything will work out," he writes.

• The total losses of Wagner PMC in Ukraine amounted to more than 30 000, 9 000 were killed; almost half of them died in the battles since mid-December, almost 90% of them were convicted.
