It appears the Wagner officer you mention will be managing those Wagners who chose to join the regular Russian Army or perhaps there will continue to be a unit or separate group still called Wagner approved by Putin.
However given that Prigozhin’s cemetary for dead Wagners is being destroyed, and possibly even being paved over, it will be interesting to see how all the unjoined Wagners running around loose for the moment will react. Will they meekly join up with Putin’s army, or will they accept the invitation to join the Russians who are fighting alongside Ukraine troops against Putin’s Russia.
I wonder if the timing of Ukraine’s announcement of a “super-Arlington” is to contrast Putin’s treatment of the Wagner cemetary. I believe one reason for Prigozhin’s creation of this cemetary is the fact that Russia has been making minimal efforts to collect their dead and return them to their families. Part of Wagner loyalty to Prigozhin is that he tried to give all his dead a decent burial. For former prisoners, most of whom have already had miserable childhoods and adulthoods, the promise of an Orthodox burial in company of dead comrades was an important promise. For Putin to approve destruction of this cemetary shows what an absolute fake Orthodox Chrisian he actually is. He is no more Christian than his murderous Commie role model Stalin.
Links would support your thoughts. Monitoring Russian news ( and non western news) , this is the first I heard of Vlad’s efforts to erase Wagner group. The people love Wagner group, and they are still going strong in Syria and Africa.
