TL;DR Summary

Fissures are emerging within the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary organization, following Yevgeny Prigozhin's failed mutiny against the Kremlin. Former Wagner fighters have criticized Prigozhin's personal ambitions and his willingness to turn on their own. While Prigozhin has struck a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko to go into exile in Belarus, his base of support appears to be disintegrating. Some fighters lament the damage caused by the revolt, while others hope it will lead to change within the Russian military. The future of the Wagner mercenaries remains uncertain, with field camps appearing in Belarus but no confirmation of their destination.
