 Ramzan Kadyrov is the target after Yevgeny Prigazin. After Wagner had Yevgeny Prigazin, the next victim may be the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. This was said by Russian opposition politician Dmitry Gudkov. According to Gudkov, Russian President Vladimir Putin is no longer able to cope with the role of an orbiter between the Kremlin factions and continues the rule of divide and rule. He said that the physical removal of Prigazin showed that all the conflicts are coming to light and the settlement with Kadyrov is ahead. As today Kadyrov is the main opponent of Russian statehood and state structures because he has a well-trained private army. Kadyrov has serious influence by bypassing all law enforcement agencies. A lot of people don't like that and I think we're going to see a lot of conflict ahead. Prigazin and the Kadyrov were long brothers in arms. The Akhmat Group Special Forces, which Kadyrov at one point hoped would become his own competitor to Wagner, was most expected to fill the operational gaps left by Prigazin's mercenaries. Akhmat Group is the most threatening unit from Chechnya since Wagner left Ukraine. Not because of expectations that they would replace the mercenary outfit but because they have captured a number of Ukrainian soldiers.
