Is Prigozhin Shifting Political Gear Amid Bakhmut Battle In Ukraine & Tussle With Kremlin In Russia?

The head of Russia’s infamous Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has long been wanting to take the political plunge. In 2020, the Wagner mercenary boss reportedly even considered running for office himself. However, unlike earlier plans to launch his own political party, the Wagner boss now is eyeing control of a major branch of an existing party. Kremlin sources told Meduza, a Russia media outlet, that Prigozhin is “interested” in A Just Russia’s St Petersburg branch. However, Some experts are sceptical about the Kremlin allowing Prigozhin to take control of a party that has seats in parliament. #russia #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #putin #usa Video Credit: AFP/Reuters/Twitter 0:00 - Introduction 0:53 - How Prigozhin Plans to Enter Politics 2:39 - Why Does Prigozhin Want to Seize Control of the Party Branch? 3:36 - Will Putin Allow Prigozhin’s Political Rise? n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are sh
