Here Is A 'War Criminal' Who May Succeed Russian President Vladimir Putin

Monday, January 2, 2023-Russia President Vladimir Putin may not serve for long as the country's strongman due to his health condition and his advanced age.

According to Kremlin sources, Putin‘s age is always a discussion among the Russian politburo and it is a matter of time before his successor is identified.

Among those touted to be Putin’s replacement is the head of Wagner Group Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Wagner Group is a group of retired Russian Army veterans who do dirty work for Russia.

“I cleaned the old weapons myself, sorted out the bulletproof vests myself,” said Mr. Prigozhin, referring to the early days of the Wagner Group. He called his private soldiers “heroes”.

Prigozhin is technically employed as Vladimir Putin’s cook, and he served caviar and truffles to George W. Bush all the way back in 2002.

He owns a number of exclusive restaurants, a successful catering business with lucrative contracts to supply schools and Russia’s armed forces, as well as his food-processing factories.

United States investigators believe he was behind a “fake news” campaign that may have helped get Donald Trump into the oval office and that he financed Russia’s “troll factory.”

Now it is a wait-and-see whether the popular ‘Chef’ will succeed Putin who is becoming less popular in Russia for waging a war in Ukraine.
