Vladimir Putin 'pulls Russia's notorious Wagner Group troops' from Ukraine as Kremlin fears its leaders are becoming 'too powerful and pose a threat'

Vladimir Putin is pulling mercenaries from Russia's notorious Wagner Group out of Ukraine over fears from the Kremlin that they are becoming 'too powerful', reports say.

The squad, which consists of 50,000 troops, have been a key part of Russia's horrific invasion of Ukraine - fighting in the east of the war-torn nation.

The Russian President, Putin, reportedly became more concerned about his own position before the demotion of Wagner, founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin - which recruits many convicted criminals - was ordered.

Prigozhin has halted in the recruiting of prisoners and he will withdraw soldiers in the next few weeks, sources reportedly claimed.

But these soldiers will reportedly be replaced by up to 300,000 regular Russian troops to fight in Ukraine.

One of these days Pootie is gonna figure out that The Daily Mail has got a telepathic reporter-spy INSIDE the Kremlin.

Of course, he might die for the 15th or 16th time before then.

I have no idea what the truth is when it comes to this war.

This sounds like a total fabrication.

You actually read this article without laughing out loud.

Of course, I'm old enough to remember you predicting that Trump would never be the nominee in 2016...

They're Russians. They always do things the hard way.

A more adult way to look at it is that it would be like pulling blackwater out of a place because we were about to go in heavy with a much bigger regular army force.

Brit propaganda is fun.

Pretty standard to pull frontline units out after continuous combat.

American squads are smaller.

That’s a bunch of BS there. By 2016, I knew he’d be the nominee.

I went to infantry school —a squad is a subset of a platoon which is a subset of a company, which is a subset of a battalion. I thought a squad was about 8 or 10 guys.

You think that the Russians have regular army forces left? When they’ve been emptying prisons and conscripting old men in Yakutya.
