Wagner has been dying a slow death over the last two months, and the reported death of its leader leaves the group with “limited options”, according to an intelligence chief.
Justin Crump, CEO of the Sibylline intelligence consultancy and British army veteran, tells BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that since Yevgeny Prigozhin’s failed coup attempt, rumours have been circulating over the future of the mercenary group.
A report from Ukraine’s national resistance centre this morning cites Belarussian sources claiming that some Wagner forces are moving towards the border with Russia.
Responding to the report, Crump says: “There are many claims about what Wagner is or isn’t doing, but I think reality is it has been dismembered over the last few months.
“The organisation has come under this deep level of scrutiny and a slow and steady operation to prevent it from having the level of power it clearly showed it had two months ago.”
