Wagner Group now in Putin's National Guard? One goal seems clear. Wagner fought alongside the regular Russian troops in Ukraine for a long time until leader Yevgeny Prigozhin instigated a coup attempt in June 2023.
Putin signed a document allowing the National Guard to set up volunteer squads. These are likely to be used in Ukraine and various African countries. Rosgvardia is supposed to offer volunteers various contracts: six months for Ukraine, nine months for missions in Africa.
