14:07 Well-known crime boss Armen Sargsyan (Armen Gorlovsky) has become the new "watchman" for prisons throughout the Russian Federation and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. One of his main activities is the creation of a new "private military company", according to Ukrainian military intelligence. It is expected that within a limited time the new structure will recruit a significant number of recruits. The model for the project should be PMC Wagner. "Recruits" for PMCs will be recruited in places of deprivation of liberty.
The project should strengthen the occupying contingent and create internal competition among Russian PMCs. The new PMC is sponsored by Russian-Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan. The creation of a new structure is an attempt to create a counterbalance to Prigozhin's de facto monopoly in the field of PMCs in Russia, the GUR MOU notes.
Armen Sargsyan is a crime boss from Gorlovka, close to the Yanukovych family and associated with Yuri Ivanyushchenko (Yura Enakievsky).

"We plan that we will pass the weekend with a deficit of about 25%. This figure is already close to the one that was before the last shelling, but it is still large. Therefore, the restriction schedules will remain," he added.
