Kremlin support: Putin equips Rosgvardia after the Wagner's rebellion - intelligence

The British Defense Ministry believes that the Kremlin intends to strengthen Rosgvardia with heavy weapons to guarantee the safety of the Putin regime from internal threats, such as Wagner Military Rebellion. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the Federal Law on granting Rosgvardia on August 4 this year to have heavy military equipment, including artillery and combat helicopters.

This step suggests that the Kremlin doubles Rosgvardy's financing as one of the key organizations that ensure the safety of Putin's regime. This is stated on August 8 in the next report by the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom. British intelligence reports that in modern form, Rosgvardium was created under the guidance of former guard of Putin Viktor Zolotov, and at this time the number of personnel is about 200 thousand people.

After the unsuccessful rebellion of the curator of the Wagner PEC, Yevgeny Prigogine in June 2023, the Kremlin decided to strengthen the units of Rosgvardy with heavy weapons - artillery, tanks and combat helicopters. The British Defense Ministry believes that the decision was conditioned by the desire to increase safety because of internal threats similar to the rebellion of Prigogine and his mercenaries.

"Despite the statement of Zolotov that during his rebellion, his strength was" excellent ", there is no evidence that Rosgvardia had taken any effective action against Wagner-exactly the threat of internal security, which was created,"- It is reported in the report. Earlier it was reported that a large corruption scheme for the amount of 227 million rubles was exposed in Russia.
