The Future of Wagner Group: Mercenary Fighters and Prigozhin's Successor
TL;DR
Following the death of Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin, a mercenary force led by Russian military intelligence, Redut, is expected to fill the void left by the group. Redut, controlled by Russian intelligence, is likely to take over Wagner's missions and business assets. Other private Russian security firms, including Convoy, Fakel, and Potok, are also vying for the opportunity. Prigozhin's death has led to a recruitment drive by Redut, with former Wagner leaders joining their ranks.
