The Russian military company “Wagner” will stop recruiting mercenaries in the coming month. In addition, it is now known that websites that make positive comments about the founder of the group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, are now also blocked.
“Since the Wagner forces are not currently participating in the military special operation and are currently moving to Belarus, the regional recruiting centers are temporarily closed,” read a message from the dreaded military on Telegram (see tweet below for original).
An undercover operation by the Russian independent news portal ‘The Insider’ shows that Prigozhin’s influence is far from eradicated. A few days ago, a correspondent called the Wagner hotline posing as a Russian looking for a job.
“Wagner” still forces against Schoigu
When asked if he would have to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense if he served in the military for the group, he was told, “No, we have nothing to do with the Ministry of Defense.” Shoigu would work. .
Wagner boss Prigozhin, who had fallen out of favor with Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin, repeatedly quarreled with the minister in the past, accusing him of incompetence.
Strict censorship
In addition, websites that support Prigozhin are blocked in Russia, Roskomsvoboda reports. Probably to get the situation under control. It was previously reported that several news portals of the Prigozhin-affiliated media group Patriot had been blocked.
The future of the group is uncertain
After a few tirades, the dispute between Prigozhin and the Kremlin escalated a week ago on Saturday. The mercenaries occupied the Russian army headquarters in Rostov-on-Don in southwestern Russia for several hours and then moved towards Moscow. However, the revolt ended that same night with the agreement that Prigozhin went into exile in Belarus. Those involved have escaped with impunity and their future seems uncertain.
