Exactly two months ago, Yevgeny Prigozhin launched an attempted coup against the military leadership in Russia, accused of being responsible for the disappointing course of the war in Ukraine.
Wagner Group s leader Yevgeny Prigozhin launched a mutiny in late June, but was very careful in stressing his target was the Russian military leadership rather than Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Yevgeny Prigozhin s Wagner Group mercenaries have been deployed in several nations since 2014 - including Ukraine, Syria and the Central African Republica (CAR).
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, often criticised the Russian military leadership, which he said was guilty of the negative course of the war for Moscow.
Yevgeny Prigozhin s Wagner Group, created in 2014, has been present over the years in a number of African countries including the Central African Republic (CAR), Libya, Mali and Sudan.
