Some advice for Pringles.
Can someone give me a brief on what happened in the last 5-6 hours?
I was away and wasn’t paying attention but I heard Wagner folded and retreated?

BREAKINGWagner boss to leave for Belarus and charges to be dropped - state media
Russian state media have just reported that Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin will leave for Belarus.
The reports say charges against him and his Wagner forces will be dropped by Russian authorities to avoid "bloodshed
So what happens to Wagner troops now, do they go back fighting in Ukraine or what?Summary
The head of the Wagner group will leave for Belarus and charges against his mercenaries will be dropped following their rebellion, Russian state media says
Yevgeny Prigozhin told his forces to return to their bases earlier to "avoid bloodshed" after negotiations with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko
Prigozhin had called for a rebellion against the Russian army, and his group took control of the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don before advancing on Moscow
President Vladimir Putin decried Prigozhin's call for a rebellion as a "betrayal" and "treason" in a TV speech, promising to punish rebels
Security was tightened in Moscow, and the mayor told residents to avoid travelling. All mass outdoor events have been cancelled until 1 July
Will probably always be speculation given how these dudes operate. Hell, it’s possible it was a loyalty test all along…it’s possible Putin gave this dude a bigger cut to back down. We’ll likely never know.wait so what happens to the generals Prig was saying need to go ? they staying ?
I wonder if it was all a diversion or something lol
Wagner is in Africa because the troops in their ranks are retired Russian special forces. That’s where their best of the best go after retirement. Wagner is pretty much used as Russia’s international troops. Without them Putin is up shyt’s creek.I'm sure that Russia would've rather made such a move quietly but with all eyes on them, inevitably people are gonna ask "What is Wagner doing in Africa?"
