What now for the Wagner Group and leader Yevgeny Prigozhin? For the past 14 months, Russia’s rare military successes were not achieved by the regular army, but by the militiamen of the Wagner commando. They accounted for a quarter of all Russian combatants on the frontline and took part in the toughest fighting.
To understand this essential link in the Russian military system, we obtained the testimony of three mercenaries who fought in Wagner’s ranks. They give an insider’s account of how the intelligence services trained and equipped the first fighters. They also provide valuable information about the feared founder of the militia, Dimitri Outkine, an admirer of the Third Reich and Nazi ideology.
The testimony of these three fighters sheds light on the troubled personality of Wagner’s current boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin. A former criminal and a wealthy oligarch, this close associate of Vladimir Putin has no qualms about appearing in fatigues near the front line, but also in Russian prisons to recruit new fighters in exchange for having their sentences overturned. He uses macabre humour and the most odious provocation, and is now overshadowing the Russian Defence Minister, whom he openly criticises.
We also investigated in Africa, which has become the terrain of conquest for Wagner’s mercenaries. In Sudan, Mali, Mozambique and the Central African Republic, they are everywhere, putting their weapons at the service of authoritarian regimes to crush any opposition or rebellion. In exchange, they seize the natural wealth of these countries.
Wherever they go, Wagner commando sows death and desolation. Some of the victims tell of massacres, torture and rape. But Wagner is not just a military force. His men have become specialists in disinformation, not hesitating to stage fake mass graves or produce big-budget action films and propaganda cartoons. The aim: to convince local populations that Russia is their best ally.
From the Ukrainian front to the mines of the Central African Republic, we lift the veil on Putin’s private army.

At 34 minutes when talking about the attack in Syria. Did the Wagner fighters know they were attacking Americans? I doubt they would have been that suicidal. Sounds like the Russian military really did set everything up.

The russian army that you're portraiting as weak and unmotivated. the russian commander's are the best that the world had ever seen in this 24th century, they're doing miracles on the battlefield in ukraine. they had learned sustain and adopt 700 days of high intensity of combat. and the entire west is watching things closely and learning from the Russian...British and the french had the loudest mouths with the weakest military in western europe there military is designed for a safari in Africa with low intensity of combat and they're pretending to be tough instead you're only a toothless dogs that has the ability to bark but cannot bite and then after this war Russia will be the most dangerous nation on earth with battle harded veterans instead of making them weak they're even more stronger than before

...they have been crying and begging Clynton to invade Libia and get rid of Gheddafi because of their envy on the favourable way he was dealing with Italy. So cowardly and without balls in taking themselves the initiative for the invasion. They’re our "worst" neighbors, and they’ve always gone to great lengths to keep us in the corner.

As South Africa and Africa in particular we admire and love Wagners and hate with passion Blackwaters,france hence french army was chased away in Niger recently,Glory to Wagner and Glory to Avdiivka and no amount of Nato propaganda channels like this one will change the deeply ingrained respect and love we have for Russia.

Plot twist: Prigozhin meets the sledgehammer fate from dictator Vladimir Putin - the ultimate mafia boss. His hit list reportedly includes Sergei skripal, Alexander Litvinenko, Boris nemstov, prigozhin, Alexei navalny, Anna polistkaya....Putin's rules russia like a ruthless mafia boss.

Dude, Wagner is a Mercenary organization. It is not Russian army. Not under the Ministry of Defense. They are private army for hire. They are trained by retired Spetznats hired by Wagner. They pledge allegiance to Russia like the French Foreign Legion. US has also some private army for hire. Just saying.

Yevgeny prigozhin the head of Wagner PMC was a courageous, talented and brave guy who did an impressive job, he had more experience for delivering victories and public relations to persue his agenda, Putin was wrongful to eliminates Wagnaries in their plane, putin did a grave mistake and will have future consequences in the entire Russian politics, another mutiny might happen that will never turned out or struck a deal,, Prigozhin made the media for us much interesting when ever he criticize Shoigu russian MoD and Garazimov, 😂😂
