Ukrainian officials say about 500 Wagner troops have returned to the battlefield a month after the death of founder Yevgeny Prigozhin.
in a Ukrainian broadcast interview that hundreds of Wagner fighters negotiated contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry so they could return to combat.
Cherevatyi said Russia brought the Wagner mercenaries back to the front lines because they are “short of everyone there now, so any man is good for them.” ISW described these Wagner units as “disjointed” and said they were “likely to have a marginal impact on Russian combat capabilities without bringing the full suite of effectiveness Wagner had had as a unitary organization under financier Yevgeniy Prigozhin’s and founder Dmitry Utkin’s leadership.”
The Wagner Group is regarded as one of the most feared, and most brutally effective, forces fighting for Russia in Ukraine. The group wasas a private military contractor by Prigozhin in 2014, even though PMCs are technically illegal in Russia. Prigozhin’s close relationship with President Vladimir Putin, and Putin’s need for highly deniable paramilitary forces to carry out operations like the annexation of Crimea, are credited for papering over this legal technicality.
