TL;DR
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with former top commander of the Wagner mercenary group, Andrei Troshev, to discuss the use of "volunteer units" in the Ukraine war. The meeting aimed to demonstrate the Kremlin's control over the group following a failed mutiny in June. Putin had previously suggested Troshev as a possible leader for Wagner. The meeting also addressed social support for those involved in the fighting. Troshev, a decorated veteran and former commander in the SOBR rapid reaction force, now works at the defense ministry.
