This is the first time that fighters from the Wagner PMC in Russia are officially recognized as veterans.
Permission to receive veterans' certificates and bonuses on the basis of these documents for Wagnerites is provided for by the new system of the Russian Ministry of Defense .
Another fact indicating changes in attitude towards Wagnerites was the recent inclusion of Wagner PMCs in the command structure of the Russian Guard .
– All this probably indicates that the Russian administration has begun the rehabilitation of individual elements of the PMCs after a long period of uncertainty due to the unsuccessful Wagner uprising on June 23-24.
Unsuccessful mutiny of Wagner PVK
On June 23, the owner of Wagner’s private military company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced the start of a “march of justice,” accusing the Russian regular army of a missile attack on the rear camps of his mercenaries.
On June 24, the Wagnerites allegedly took control of Russian military facilities in Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh, and also destroyed seven Russian aircraft.
