Wagner mercenaries were on Thursday reported to be trying to head back into Russia after threatening retaliation over the suspected killing of their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash on the orders of Vladimir Putin. “The convoys are likely heading towards the border with Russia,” the centre said. “There’s a lot talk right now about what the Wagner Group will do,” he said.
The Wagner group are absolutely not Ukraine sympathizers. They’re just another group within Russia with the same ultimate goal as the current regime; they just want to be the ones in charge. Nothing would change if the Wagner group were in power in Moscow.
In actuality, it may be worse!
That’s why we’re hoping for mutually assured destruction as an outcome.
There is a zero percent chance of them being in control of Moscow. They failed last time with their leader alive and Putin has had a month to prepare for any further attempts.
