On Friday, the state-run Russian news agency RIA reported that former Wagner boss Andrej Troshev is already employed in the Russian Ministry of Defence.
– He already works in the Ministry of Defence, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Russian press.
According to British intelligence, Trosjev has been given the task of organizing “volunteer combat units” for the defence. The role can be seen in connection with the possible reorganization of the Wagner group.
On the night of June 24, Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin shocked the world and the Kremlin with his armed march against Moscow.
Two months later, the world received another shock. On 23 August there were reports that Prigozhin had been killed in a plane crash.
After the Moscow March, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Wagner soldiers would be given the opportunity to be incorporated into the regular Russian army.

Trosjev has been given that task, according to British intelligence. In addition, Troshev may also have contributed to fueling the Wagner rebellion by recruiting for the army as early as June, writes the intelligence
– Troshev probably worked to encourage others in Wagner to sign contracts, which contributed to the rebellion. Among Wagner veterans, he is probably considered a traitor, writes the intelligence.
Despite the fact that the Wagner group has lost its leader and has ceased to exist as an official fighting group in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the group has not stopped all its activities.
British intelligence points out, among other things, that Russia still uses Wagner and other private companies to have a presence in African states.
