Is this like Pointman said, to put Wagner in charge of Belarus? Then the Belarusian army attacks Ukraine? Couldn't this spark another war in Belarus?
Or is Putin actually banishing them? What about all of their operations in Africa? How does Putin possibly expect to succeed in Ukraine without Wagner? |
Prigozhin may be allowed to take a small amount of units with him to Belarus, but the vast majority will come under the command of the Russian military, likely to be transformed into a special unit akin to the French foreign legion as an example.
Prigozhin has no real military experience and was always more of a loudmouth figurehead than anything else. Wagner's actual military commanders have always been structured through the GRU and military intelligence anyways.
