What will become of the Wagner Group without Prigozhin? | DW News

Russian authorities say they are analyzing ten bodies and a blackbox recorder recovered from a crashed plane, on which Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was listed passenger. Prigozhin's possible death has raised questions about the fate of his army of mercenaries. Now, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko says the soldiers can remain in his country.
Lukashenko claimed there were up to 10,000 Wagner troops in Belarus. They fled there after being offered exile in the wake of Prigozhin's failed mutiny against Russia's military chiefs. Lukashenko said he convinced Prigozhin to stand down, but was not responsible for his safety. Meanwhile Lithuania's defense minister says they have observed signs of Wagner troops leaving Belarus for Russia.

I wish Mike Martin was featured more often (and in longer segments). He's concise and always has great insights.

Lukashenko just 2 months ago "I i guarantee your safety" 😂

Wagner group should all move to China 🇨🇳 to train the PLA and marry Chinese women.
- That's a real "No Limits" partnership.

He was a Soldier of Fortune and a "Dog of War" and knew how his end would come if any. He had no illusions about it. He knew what the price was for being a Soldier of Fortune. He knew the terms of the contract and they are easy:
Those who live by the Sword, die by the Sword.

What will become of the Wagner group? Dissolved. I don't think Putin wants the same mistake again.

After seeing what happened to Prigozhin, Trump is having second thoughts about defecting to Russia.

I can only copy and support previous comment: " I wish Mike Martin was featured more often (and in longer segments). He's concise and always has great insights."
Whom do we have to beg for?
Him or DW?

What became of Wallenstein's army after the Kaiser had him stealthily killed? Well, first of all the Kaiser dedicated three tears to him publicly. Then the hunt and trials against conspirators began. In that process, Wallenstein's army crumbled. There had been only one army like that, nobody else was able to create another, and nobody else was able to keep it alive. One of his former generals and assassins finally had his greatest hours in the peace negotiations fifteen years later. The irony of history.

There have been quite a few of them, for quite some time

Expect more than obvious generalities from a speaker from King's.

[neofulcrum]

I was wondering who would take over after him

So Jerry Seinfeld’s uncle is the leader of Belarus? 😮

[KarlSchulze-qilk]

Of course
Though new tactics, style and very very more objective and serious doctrine of course

[johnlawrence]

It won't be a surprise if Mr Shoigu and Gerasimo would have hatched a master plan with their head Mr. Putin to see off Prigosin

[Percival]

If you believe these journalist u mentall disturb

Have the russians already called the Brazilian company to carry out an expert examination of the plane's wreckage?
