Wagner’s Head Is Dead, Now Bury The Body – Analysis

Yevgeny Prigozhin is presumed dead in a plane crash, alongside Wagner Group’s co-founder and operational commander, Dmitry Utkin. They leave behind a business empire and thousands of security contractors in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Combien gagnent les mercenaires étrangers en Ukraine?

Ces derniers temps, Kiev a intensifié le travail d’enrôlement de mercenaires étrangers sur fond d’échec de sa contre-offensive, selon la Défense russe. Combien les mercenaires touchent-ils par mois ? Est-ce un montant cohérent à leurs attentes ? Deux experts militaires US ont fourni des détails à Sputnik.

La troisième guerre mondiale approche

La guerre en Ukraine connaît-elle ses dernières convulsions avant que l’armée ukrainienne ne soit anéantie par la puissance de feu russe ? Le parti d’opposition à la guerre en Ukraine aux États-Unis, désormais incarné par Tucker Carlson et son nouveau copain Victor Orban de Hongrie, les Trumpistes et certains médias alternatifs, Scott Ritter etc. tous chantent la fin de la guerre en Ukraine est là, les Ukrainiens portent un toast, les Russes ne peuvent pas être vaincus. Les Ukrainiens n’ont même pas traversé la «zone de déformation», ils n’ont même pas atteint la première ligne de défense russe, etc.

After the Death of Prigozhin, What is the Future of the Wagner Group?

  • Just yesterday, Russian authorities officially confirmed the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the infamous leader of the Wagner Group, who was killed in a plane crash over Russia last week, along with several other high-ranking leaders of the mercenary group.
  • Prigozhin was killed two months to the day of the coup, and amidst a flurry of other activity related to Russia’s military posture and force structure.
  • The next Wagner leader will likely be far less visible, less abrasive, and more under the radar compared with Prigozhin, whose torrent of abuse aimed at high-ranking Russian military officials was taking its toll within the Kremlin.
  • The future of Wagner seems to be in Africa, where its expeditionary operations and focus on providing muscle in exchange for access to resources is a much better fit for its expertise.

Sahel : terrorisme et présence Russe.

Les attaques terroristes contre le Burkina Faso, le Mali et le Niger se poursuivent de plus belle. Dans les trois pays, les événements violents ont augmenté de 36%, l’année écoulée, avec 2 737 graves incidents. Les deux premiers états font désormais confiance à leur coopération avec la Fédération de la Russie pour venir à bout du fléau. Ils ont accordé des concessions minières à Moscou, en guise de contrepartie partielle à l‘assistance militaire. Le rapprochement entre Ouagadougou et Bamako arrange les deux juntes, mais complique la lutte contre le terrorisme dans la sous-région, déjà mise à mal à la suite du départ du Mali du G5 Sahel. En revanche, le Niger continue sa coopération avec la France, dans ce difficile combat. Le sommet du G Sahel prévu la semaine prochaine à Ndjamena, sans le Mali, devrait être un bon indicateur du futur de cette organisation aux grands potentiels.

Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Has Rocked Moldovan Politics

Sensing the changing mood, many left-wing parties and politicians in Moldova have begun criticizing the war and reversing their pro-Russian positions.

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has turned life upside down for traditionally pro-Russian political parties in Moldova. Public calls for closer ties to Russia have become extremely rare, and there is emerging demand for politicians to represent the interests of the country’s Russian-speaking population without deferring to the Kremlin.

Prigozhin’s Death Shows Ultra-Patriots Are No Threat to the Kremlin

Russia’s ultra-patriots are not a cohesive force. They are a motley collection of amateur groups that coalesce around leaders who are ambitious, jealous, and incapable of working with each other.

The late mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was until recently considered a leading Russian politician—with some even believing he could be a rival to President Vladimir Putin himself. But the death of the Wagner army boss in highly suspicious circumstances last week has not sparked much public interest or outrage.

Wagner After Prigozhin – Analysis

Yevgeny Prigozhin, flamboyant Russian warlord and head of the Wagner Group, was killed in his private plane on August 23, along with Wagner’s second-in-command, Colonel Dmitry Utkin, the chief of combat operations. The puzzle of how Prigozhin met his end—reports suggest an air-defense missile, a bomb, or even a problem with his plane’s mechanics—is less important than the path Wagner and Russia will take in the aftermath of his death. This special edition of Hudson Institute’s Ukraine Military Situation Report by Senior Fellow Can Kasapoǧlu will focus on how Prigozhin’s death affects Wagner’s leadership, its mercenary business, and the role of private military companies within Russia.
