The Wagner Group was working with Russia, switched sides and began to threaten Russia. But soon, the two sides made an agreement to fight against Ukraine together again. When President Putin began the war in Ukraine, he was mostly using Russian forces. Later, a group of professional soldiers joined the war.
These soldiers were paid by a company called the Wagner Group. The company has tens of thousands of soldiers working for and is led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, who has gone to jail before.
Prigozhin has worked with Putin in the past. People say that Putin used Wagner’s soldiers to do jobs that he didn’t want normal Russian soldiers to do. The Wagner Group’s soldiers have fought for Russia in many parts of the world other than Ukraine.
The Wagner Group soldiers have done many important things in Russia’s battles with Ukraine. But as the war progressed, tensions began to brew between the Russian military and the soldiers of the Wagner Group.
The Russian military leaders did not like to see a business owner have so much power in Russia, and Prigozhin has strongly criticized the Russian military leaders. Recently, a new rule was established by the government, which said that Wagner’s soldiers had to enter the Russian army.
Prigozhin didn’t like the rule because it meant he would lose control of his forces. Prigozhin also framed Russia’s military soldiers for attacking his soldiers. In response, they made a March for Justice, where they took 25,000 of Wagner’s soldiers from the battlefield in Ukraine.
Wagner’s forces then took over the city of Rostov-on-Don, as well as the few military bases that were located there.
Prigozhin then requested that the top two Russian military leaders be removed, or his forces would march in Russia’s capital Moscow. Putin then accused Wagner’s soldiers of treason and rebellion and promised strong punishments for those who were involved in the plot.
Nevertheless, Wagner’s soldiers began marching to Moscow. There was fighting on the way. The Russian military destroyed many important roads and bridges, while trying to stop the forces from reaching the capital of Moscow.
Later, a proposal was made that Wagner Group’s soldiers would stop attacking, and Putin would not punish anyone for advancing on Moscow.
