While the future of the Wagner mercenary group hangs in the balance following Yevgeniy Prigozhin’s attempted mutiny in Russia, fissures are emerging within Wagner Group itself over whether Prigozhin is worth following anymore.
And while the staged insurrection against Putin and the Kremlin appears to be the largest challenge to Putin’s grip on power in years, throwing the future of Russia and the entire region into unknown territory, Prigozhin himself might be dealing with a disintegrating base of support.Vlad added that he wanted to join Wagner to “defend” Russia, not attack it, and not “out of sympathy for Prigozhin.”
“Our comrades have killed each other, a huge amount of military equipment has been destroyed, people are scared, not to mention the damage to the reputation of Russia in the geopolitical arena, and the parquet generals are still in their places.” “I hope the 'March for Justice' has served as a wake-up call for our government to see that it's time for a change,” Mikhail, another former Wagner mercenary, said.
It’s not clear what Prigozhin’s future holds at the moment. Days after he called off the mutiny in late June,at the Kremlin, Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Monday, according to Interfax. Questions remain as to whether Prigozhin will be safe from reprisal following the revolt as the Kremlin’s influence extends throughout Belarus.
