The head of the Senate defense committee, told the subordination of future PMCs

If they appear in the Russian legal field of private military companies, they must be built into the vertical military system and obey the Ministry of Defense, said the head of the Federation Council Committee on Defense Viktor Bondarev.

“must, so that PMCs, if they appear in the domestic legal field, would be subordinate to the Russian Ministry of Defense, rather than being suspended, not built into a vertical military system. Only in this way can they become real help to regular troops., and not some alternative in the form of functionally similar structures, that, but, priority is given to profit instead of national interests”, - said Bondarev.

“It is necessary to provide for such norms, so that private traders cannot simply “to hire” - how it is done in the market: “nothing personal, only business” - our enemies, so that their activities meet the interests of state policy in the field of the Armed Forces”, - added the head of the SF committee.

At the same time, the senator stressed, that the legalization of PMCs in Russia is “debatable issue”.

he noted, that such an initiative, with an incorrect legislative implementation, has certain risks, therefore, the legislative framework for the activities of PMCs requires careful, verified approach. Before entering the State Duma, the relevant project must pass as an expert examination, and public comment, convinced Bondarev.

“Now there are no PMCs in Russia. AND, of course, regulatory conditions are required for their appearance, including aspects of social protection and benefits for PMC members and members of their families”, - quotes the head of the committee RIA “news”.
