Yevgeny Prigozhin's presumed death removes one problem, may create new ones for Vladimir Putin

Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has reportedly published his first recruitment video for the Wagner Group since organising a short-lived mutiny against defence officials in Russia. Prigozhin had moved into the global spotlight in June with a dramatic, short-lived rebellion that posed the most serious threat to President Vladimir Putin of the Russian leader’s 23-year rule. In the video, which was posted Monday on Telegram messaging app channels which are believed to be affiliated with Prigozhin, a person who appears to be the 62-year-old mercenary leader says the Wagner Group is conducting recon and search activities, and “making Russia even greater on all continents, and Africa even more free”. The person who appears to be Prigozhin in the video also says Wagner is, "giving Isis, al-Qaeda and other gangsters hell" in temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius. #Yevgenyprigozhin #Wagnergroup #PrigozhinAfrica ~HT.99~PR.153~ED.194~
