African gold secured by Wagner has provided an important revenue source to Russia since their invasion of Ukraine. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/wagner-group-russia-insurrection-middle-east-africa The Wagner group in Libya are the most independent of the Russian government. UAE not Russia are actually the main funders and backers of Wagner in Libya. This despite UAE being an ally of USA, a host to US military installations and recipient of US weapons sales. Also the gold that Wagner obtains from Sudan and Central African Republic goes to UAE first before Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look the strongman type but clearly has a lot of power and a lot of fear behind him.

Not having Russian snipers close by probably makes life easier in Kherson though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) The FSB case against Prigozhin has been dropped, for what it's worth. Wagner are also currently transfering their heavy weapons to Russian MoD. Putin is holding an impromptu award ceremony at the Kremlin for units who stopped the rebellion - medals are being given out, a silence held for the Russian forces killed. Shiogu is there, not sure he got a medal. Edited June 27, 2023 by ICTChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 No doubt a useful counterbalance if the Belarus military ever gets any ideas about doing a coup, and only a few hours drive from Moscow if Shoigu gets any ideas about toppling Vlad once Russia's hold on the occupied portion of Ukraine is a lot less secure than it is now: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
