Kadyrov plans to create own PMC

That’s according to Kadyrov’s posting on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"Without a doubt, such military formations are needed and necessary. That is why I am seriously planning to compete with our dear brother Yevgeny Prigozhin after completing my work with the civil service, and create a private military company. I believe everything will work out," Kadyrov said.
