At the end of July, information appeared on Wagner-related Telegram channels that the group’s regional recruitment centers were temporarily suspended. This was explained by a “large reserve of personnel”, due to which new mercenaries are not needed.
Prigozhin also confirmed that “Wagner” will no longer recruit new mercenaries. He also announced that the group would continue its activities only in Africa and Belarus.
However, as “Važnije istorii” discovered, one of the former “Wagner” mercenaries, who fought both in Africa and Ukraine, claims that the recruitment of new mercenaries has resumed in the Russian cities of Omsk and Novosibirsk.
In Omsk, new mercenaries are being recruited through the “Desantnik” club, while in Novosibirsk, the group’s recruitment center has resumed work.
The correspondent of “Važnije istorii” called both of these places.
The “Desantnik” club told the correspondent that the recruitment of mercenaries does not take place, as it has been forbidden for the group. Meanwhile, at the recruitment center in Novosibirsk, the correspondent learned that the recruitment of new mercenaries takes place only on Fridays. Tu r also stated that mercenaries are mainly recruited for various operations in Africa.
