Wagner’s replacement? “Putin is counting on new private militia to avoid second mobilization”

Now that Russian President Vladimir Putin (71) can no longer count on the Wagner Group to do his dirty work on the Ukrainian front, he is increasingly relying on a new private militia. This is what British military intelligence services claim in a new report. The militia, ‘Redut’, would recruit mercenaries (including former Wagner members) under the guise of “volunteers”. In this way, Putin reportedly hopes to avoid a second mobilization of Russian citizens.
