BREAKING NEWS: Russian Private Military Group, Wagner, Disbanded Following Leader’s Reported Death
In a shocking turn of events, it has been reported that the infamous Russian private military group, Wagner, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, has been disbanded. This comes after recent speculation surrounding Prigozhin’s death in a tragic plane crash. As the news of Wagner’s demise spreads, other Russian private military groups are expected to vie for its missions and assets.
Among the contenders to take over Wagner’s operations is the well-known private military group, Redut, controlled by Russian intelligence. Sources suggest that Redut is the most likely candidate to succeed Wagner and was initially established to protect factories owned by Putin-linked oligarch, Gennady Timchenko. With its track record and strong connections, Redut seems poised to expand its influence and take on the mantle left by Wagner.
Another strong contender in this power struggle is Convoy, led by Konstantin Pikalov, a former associate of Prigozhin. Convoy has already gained experience through its involvement in military operations in Ukraine’s Kherson region and is actively seeking opportunities in Africa. With Convoy’s combat experience and desire to expand, it could pose a formidable challenge to Redut.
Adding to the mix are Fakel and Potok, private military groups believed to be funded by the state-owned company Gazprom. These groups have also been involved in various military operations. Speculation has surfaced that Fakel and Potok may have merged with Redut, further solidifying its position as the successor to Wagner.
The disbandment of Wagner has sent shockwaves through the private military community, as the group was notorious for its involvement in conflicts across the globe. From Syria to Ukraine, Wagner’s presence was felt far and wide. As its missions and assets become up for grabs, it remains to be seen which group will emerge as the dominant force in the Russian private military space.
For now, all eyes are on Redut, Convoy, Fakel, and Potok as they battle it out for control over the lucrative opportunities previously seized by Wagner. The aftermath of Wagner’s dissolution promises to reshape the landscape of private military operations in Russia and beyond. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
