Russia Promised Libya New Wagner Head Day Before Prigozhin Death, Putin’s Africa Takeover Plan?

A day before Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane crash, Libya was informed of a new head of the PMC by a top Russian official. Reuters says a Russian official visited Libya to reassure allies that Wagner fighters would remain in the country, but under Moscow’s control. Russia’s Deputy Defence Minister reportedly told Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar that Wagner forces would report to “a new commander”. With Prigozhin believed dead, the fate of the Wagner Group and the network he created for Putin across Europe, the Middle East and Africa is uncertain. Experts have said the Kremlin will face operational difficulties and there will be repercussions for the African countries where Wagner is involved. #prigozhin #wagner #yevgenyprigozhin #russia #africa #ukraine #putin Video: AP/AFP/Reuters/Twitter 0:00 - Introduction 0:30 - Russia Assures “new Commander” Will Lead Wagner in Libya 1:30 - How Russia Plans to Keep Wagner Operations in Control 3:12 - Wagner Troops Leaving Belarus? n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
