After the death of the leader of the PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin, the future existence and activities of his mercenaries remain in question. It is likely that the structures of the Wagnerites will soon collapse completely.

However, after the death of Prigozhin, part of the Wagner PMC may come under the leadership of the self-proclaimed President Alexander Lukashenko. This opinion Channel 24 was expressed by the Russian opposition journalist, The Insider editor Timur Olevsky.

The future of the Wagnerites

PMCs ” Wagner” is now supposedly dismantling the camp. However, there are mercenaries whom Lukashenka can leave as instructors in Belarus.

“Lukashenko is a man who has elite power units. I think that he will take a certain number of people for himself, including for special operations in Europe. He has many enemies there, whom he will be happy to kill by issuing new Belarusian passports to the Wagnerites in non-existent names “, – said Olevsky.

Departure for Belarusians to Europe is much softer than for Russians, because Europe understands Belarusians more as people under pressure from the regime, and willingly gives them asylum. Therefore, a great threat arises here.

Now they are dismantling the PMC “Wagner” and distributing all the legacy of Prigozhin. Lukashenka can be given a piece of Prigozhin's business, and with him specialists who know how to manage it, – a Russian opposition journalist noted.

Perhaps, for what Lukashenka has done for Putin, the latter will share African assets with the Belarusian usurper, which are very beneficial for Russia. After all, minerals are mined there with a large share of the added value. In addition, they can be sold on the black or gray market without reporting to anyone.

According to Olevsky, the participation of the Belarusian army in the war in Ukraine does not depend on whether the Belarusians know how to fight or not, but on a strange ” tango” that Lukashenka is now dancing with Putin and the future of his legacy.

What is known about the death of Prigozhin

• On the evening of August 23, a plane crashed in the Tver region of Russia, on which the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, crashed. The plane was heading from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
• It is believed that the plane carrying Prigozhin was shot down by a surface-to-air missile fired from Russian territory.
• It should be noted that the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin did express his condolences to the family of his “cook”. However, it was he who, most likely, gave the order to kill Prigozhin because of the Wagner rebellion that took place in June.
