Wagner Group's Capture of Russian Officer Sparks Infighting and Criticism.
TL;DR Summary
Russia's Wagner Group private military company has captured a Russian lieutenant colonel and forced him to confess on video to opening fire on Wagner mercenaries. The incident illustrates how little control Russia's defense ministry has over the Wagner Group. Wagner Group forces depend on the Russian defense ministry for their ammunition, but they are mostly independent from the Russian military. Wagner Group's owner Yevgeny Prigozhin has shown personal animosity toward Russia's 72nd Brigade.
