British Defence Intelligence
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 11 February 2023
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
On 09 February 2023, Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin stated that Wagner had halted its prisoner recruitment scheme.
Data from the Russian Federal Penal Service had already suggested a drop-off in the rate of prisoner recruitment since December 2022. News of the harsh realities of Wagner service in Ukraine has probably filtered through to inmates and reduced the number of volunteers. However, a key factor in the termination of the scheme is likely increasingly direct rivalry between the Russian Ministry of Defence and Wagner.
In addition, the regular Russian military has likely now also deployed the vast majority of the reservists called up under 'partial mobilisation'. The Russian leadership faces the difficult choice of either continuing to deplete its forces, scale back objectives, or conduct a further form of mobilisation.

Bundestag Member Calls To Allow Poland And Slovakia To Transfer East German MiG-29s To Ukraine
During the time of the USSR, East Germany had MiG aircraft, which were sold after the reunification of Germany, in particular, to Poland and Slovakia. When deciding on their transfer to Ukraine, Germany's permission is required and the German government must grant this permission.
Marcus Faber, member of the German Bundestag from the coalition Free Democratic Party, member of the defense committee, said this in a Guildhall comment.
"Next week, a security conference will be held in Munich. On the eve, I am talking with representatives of the Embassy of Ukraine in Germany, with other officials, and the first position that is voiced in the context of aviation is the F16 and the MiG29. Both models are not in service with the Luftwaffe. Therefore, the first task facing Germany is to give permission to transfer MiG-29s, which other countries have, to Ukraine," he said.
"East Germany was part of the Soviet zone of influence and East Germany had these MiGs. After our reunification, we sold them, for example, to Poland and Slovakia. Therefore, when Poland and Slovakia decide to transfer MiGs to Ukraine, they also need to get Germany's permission. At the very least, this applies to a part of such aircraft that these countries have," said the German parliamentarian.
"My position is that we should give this permission to Poland and Slovakia," Marcus Faber concluded.
