According to Jörgen Elfving, the will to fight among the mobilized soldiers is already low and he does not rule out that they may lay down their weapons.
– Among the units that are involved in Ukraine, people are probably thinking about whether to continue as before or to keep calm and wait.
Jörgen Elfving does not rule out that we may have the same situation as in the Russian evolution in 1917, when the Russian tsar was overthrown.
– The mobilized then left their weapons and headed home again.
Prigozhin can influence political developments
Does Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group, have political ambitions of his own?
– He himself states that he has no such ambitions, but on the other hand he could influence the political development.
According to Jörgen Elfving, all politicians in a leading position in Russia have condemned the Wagner group and say they support Putin, but what significance it has remains to be seen.
– There are probably a number in the political leadership who choose to switch sides if it turns out that Prigozhin is successful.
