... Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of Wagner PMC until he died in an airplancd crash in August, in case anyone here has forgotten... | and Utkin.
... Dmitry Valerievich Utkin, Wagner PMC co-founder and military commander, who died in the same plane crash. |
Also today, Putin met with “Sedy”, who now runs the Redut PMC, where some of the Wagner fighters went.
They promised to resolve all issues regarding social guarantees and security. Now "Redut" and "Volunteer Corps" are working with the Russian Defense Ministry. They are the ones who have now appeared in the Artemovsk area and will take part in upcoming operations. Putin today once again transparently made it clear that he has no complaints about the rank and file of PMCs and they, as before, are considered on an equal basis with the military, including in matters of guarantees.
Some of the Wagners signed individual contracts with the Russian Guard. The core of the PMC still operates in Belarus and Africa, separately from the Russian Defense Ministry. This group is commanded by "Lotos", who commanded the assault on Soledar, and also participated in the planning of the Battle of Artyomovsk. In Africa, Wagner PMC is most active in the Central African Republic, Libya and Mali. There is currently no official confirmation that the Wagner PMC has been transferred to Niger.
