The Russian private military operation, Wagner Group, has allegedly begun to offer Ukrainians payment in order to fight for them as its relationship with the Kremlin worsens.
Founded and run by oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, Wagner is a mercenary outfit that has had a major presence in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict that has been accused in the past of working at the behest of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
OIn recent months, its forces have been heavily involved in the battle for Bakhmut, a city in the contested Donetsk region being defended by Ukrainian soldiers against encroaching Russian control.
Lately, however, reports have emerged indicating that Wagner Group’s relationship with the Russian government is straining, resulting in the outfit facing recruitment difficulties.
According to a Kyiv Independent report from Monday, Wagner has allegedly begun offering payment to Ukrainian citizens to join them.
