The two talked about how volunteer units could fight in Ukraine but under the defence ministry.
Days after Wagner’s June mutiny, President Vladimir Putin offered mercenaries the opportunity to keep fighting.
The meeting underscored the Kremlin’s attempt to show that the state had now gained control over the mercenary group after a failed June mutiny by Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, who was killed in a plane crash in August. The Kremlin said that Putin had met with Troshev, who is known by his nom de guerre “Sedoi” – or “grey hair”, and Deputy Defence Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, who sat closest to Putin, on Thursday night.
“You yourself have been fighting in such a unit for more than a year,” Putin said. “You know what it is, how it is done, you know about the issues that need to be resolved in advance so that the combat work goes in the best and most successful way.”Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the RIA news agency that Troshev worked at the defence ministry. “He now works in the defence ministry.”
