“I think that puts paid to any Belarus “regime change” notions from “Cookies” Nuland and her pals.”
Very true, compared to Russia, Wagner is a very small army. But compared to Belarus, which is 15 times smaller than Russia, Wagner more than doubles the size of their military.

OK, I have to admit I don’t get it. I thought the end result of this would be the Wagnerians ending up going “up north”. But in my mind “up north” meant in the vicinity of Belgorod and Kursk and NOT Belarus. I can see Prigozhin relocating himself and his headquarters in Belarus but what about the Wagner forces themselves. Will they remain a distinct and separate fighting organization but now under direct contract to the Russian Ministry of Defense?
