Prigozhin fighting to be in Russia’s State Duma - advisor to Ukraine’s Internal Affairs Ministry

He shared his opinions on Espreso TV.

"There are no conflicts between Prigozhin and Putin. Because Prigozhin is not a person who could fight with Putin. There are tough, public information wars between Prigozhin and Russia’s Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Russian Federation, and this is a big advantage for Ukraine. Prigozhin is waging this war to try to enter the top political league in Russia. That is, Prigozhin has set himself the goal to gain influence on one of the Duma’s factions, at least," Denysenko explained.

According to the advisor, the information war between the Russian General Staff and the Wagner PMC is a war for Prigozhin's political future.

"Prigozhin stole a march on the Russian General Staff and the Russian Ministry of Defense. By recruiting prisoners, Prigozhin entered the territory of the Russian Interior Ministry, the territory of their prison management, he also entered the territory of the Russian Border Guard Service and the FSB. Prigozhin understands that if he stops his information campaign, he can be physically destroyed. He will continue to lead this information war. And as he wages this information war, Russians’ trust in the Russian army is falling," Denysenko added.
