Putin wants to capture the "Empire of War and Gold" created by Wagner PEC in Africa - WSJ

According to journalists, Prigogine has created a network of companies that support Syria leaders, as well as African states, manage gold and diamond mines. Kremlin head Vladimir Putin decided to control the "Empire of War and Gold", which was created by the Wagner PVC in Africa. About it writes The Wall Sterrt Journal. It is reported that the head of "Wagnerots" Yevhen Prigogin created a network of companies that support Syria leaders, as well as African states, manage gold and diamond mines.

Moreover, many of them acted as unofficial diplomatic missions of Russia, despite the fact that Putin had previously denied the connections of Moscow and Wagner PEC, although recently recognized them. According to journalists, Prigogine created a complex corporate structure, which was intended to hide the operations of "Wagnerists" outside the Russian Federation, as well as to blur connections with the Kremlin. This complicates Russia's prosecution.

The publication writes that now, after the military rebellion of Prigogine in June, Putin is trying to take the Wagner PEC under his control. However, its breadth and unknown location of the head of the Wagnervians will be obstacles for the Kremlin. It is reported that the status of PEC "Wagner" after the rebellion of Prigogine now remains unclear. Hundreds of mercenaries left the Central African Republic, but then dozens of fresh soldiers arrived there.

They should help the president to hold a referendum that can extend his term of office. Recall that Poland creates a special unit to combat Wagner PEC. The new military-engineering battalion will be stationed near the Succy corridor. In addition, it was reported that Wagner's mercenaries continue to receive salaries. According to Roszma, Prigogine's militants who have moved to Belarus or are ready to go to African and Arab countries will continue to pay for participation in hostilities.
