Russia’s Wagner Group recently made an announcement regarding its future plans.
Following a failed mutiny led by its chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the group has decided to halt recruitment for a month.
The group’s fighters will be relocating to Belarus, where Prigozhin was exiled after his uprising.
This relocation was part of a deal brokered by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko.
The Wagner Group’s recruitment channel on Telegram released a statement regarding the temporary hiring freeze.
It was also reported that the group’s heavy military equipment will be handed over to Russia’s armed forces.
Prigozhin’s rebellion came amidst tensions between him and Russia’s military leadership.
The group’s announcement comes after reports of ongoing recruitment for fighting in Ukraine.
Satellite images suggest that a new camp for Wagner Group fighters is being constructed in Belarus.
The Wagner Group has played a significant role in Russia’s efforts to capture the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.
