"Putin's New Africa Mercenary Group: Fate of Wagner Remnants Revealed"

Former fighters from the Wagner Group, a notorious mercenary organization, are being absorbed into Russia's national guard, Rosgvardia, and may be deployed to Ukraine and Africa, according to Western intelligence. This move indicates Moscow's increasing control over the Wagner group and its expansion of influence in these regions. Rosgvardia, often referred to as Russian President Vladimir Putin's "private army," has been granted heavy weaponry and is establishing a presence in Russian-held regions of Ukraine, allowing Russia to exert control without relying on front-line troops. This development marks the latest chapter in Wagner's downfall, as it transitions from an independent force to being subsumed by the Russian state, with a new military formation called the Africa Corps attempting to recruit former Wagner mercenaries for combat operations across the continent.
