Wagner PMC will no longer fight in Ukraine

Among the consequences of Wagner's "mutiny" for Ukraine are the compromise of the Russian leadership and the fact that Yevhen Prigozhin's mercenaries will no longer participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine. 

The head of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, told Ukraiinska Pravda in a commentary.

"We have received compromising information about the Russian leadership. The myth of the Russian regime's steadfastness has been destroyed once again. The Russian ‘super powerful’ forces suffered losses. Moreover, the Wagner PMC will no longer take part in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine. This is the most effective unit of the Russian Federation, which was able to achieve success at any cost," Budanov said.

The head of the State Duma's Defence Committee said that the owner of the private military company Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, refused to sign a contract with the Russian Defence Ministry. 

Andrei Kartapolov said that since PMC Wagner had not signed the contract, the company would not participate in the so-called "special military operation" and funds for it would not be allocated from the Russian state budget.

On the night of June 24, the owner of the private military company Wagner, Yevhen Prigozhin, started an armed rebellion. He and his militants entered Russia from the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. The next day, the mercenaries seized the headquarters of the Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don. 

The self-proclaimed President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenka, held talks with Prigozhin and agreed to stop the movement of PMC members through Russia.  

During the rebellion, mercenaries shot down a Russian IL-22M Airborne Command Post . None of the crew survived.
