Nominally any members of Wagner who want to leave for Belarus can do so. The rest will integrate into the Russian military. Additionally, there's reason to believe all members of Wagner were given immunity from prosecution for this and anything they did in Ukraine.
Unofficially, there's an argument to be made that this was a ruse to relocate large numbers of Wagner troops from the area of Rostov-on-Don to Belgorod or all the way to Belarus while everyone autistically screeches about a coup.
Russia is capable of pulling off psyops too and all warfare is based on deception. We probably won't know what truly went down until after the war is over.
Exactly.
So the Russian MOD got their way and eventually Prigozhin won't have his PMC for much longer ??. Or if it still remains intact will it still operate how it did - seeing as it relies of the Russian MOD for it's munitions ?
It's going to be speculative at this point. Fog of war and all.
Well on the face of it, i can see why prigozin is pissed - his little PMC empire and African blood diamonds/ rare earth mineral rout has been severely curtailed. Seriously doesnt make any logical sense other than Russian military politics getting rid of an effective game piece for personal reasons. Like lets just get rid of our best element of on ground aggression. Lol and then Why the fck would any wagner sign a contract to become regular Russian military, with all it involves ?
