Yevgeny Priozhin, nicknamed Vladimir Putin’s chef, founded the group but has now been accused of ignoring the Kremlin’s narrative.
The US based think tank the Institute for the Study of War said the founder was creating a split “by publicising the so-called ‘Wagner line’ of fortifications in northeastern Ukraine, which appears misaligned with Kremlin-led narratives on the course of the war.”
The Wagner Group is fighting with Russians in Ukraine, reportedly defending the border between Belgorod Oblast and Ukraine’s Sumy, Kharkiv, and Luhansk Oblasts but the ISW claims it does not cover the Luhansk Oblast “placing it at odds with Kremlin’s promises to defend all of the Luhansk regions”.
The ISW concluded: “Prigozhin and Wagner commanders are likely preparing to defend the positions they think they can realistically hold, not the present extent of Russian lines or all of the territory the Kremlin claims to have annexed, and are likely not confident in Russia’s ability to defend settlements north of Lysychansk such as Kreminna and Svatove.”
