A new military formation will be born from the ashes of Wagner . After the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin , commander of the Brigade, Russian President Vladimir Putin asked Andrei Troshev , the deceased leader's former right-hand man, to form a volunteer corps to send to fight in Ukraine .
The Kremlin wrote this in a statement. «In the last meeting - Putin said to Troshev, according to the note - we mentioned the fact that he will be involved in the formation of volunteer units capable of conducting military operations of various types , obviously especially in the area of the “special military operation”», as Ukraine is called.
But - despite the new winds of war - Kiev's offensive does not stop . In Russia, in the western Kursk region, a Ukrainian drone dropped two explosive devices at an electrical substation , leaving five locations and a hospital without electricity. Confirmation on Telegram by governor Roman Starovoit: «An electrical transformer caught fire. Five populated areas and one hospital are without electricity,” adding that fire crews are heading to the area and “repairs will begin as soon as it is safe to do so.”
