Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, has apparently died in a plane crash, raising questions about the future of the Russian private military company. The fate of the Wagner Group has been uncertain since the armed rebellion in June, with options including dissolution, nationalization by the Russian state, or the appointment of a new leader. Prigozhin's death is not expected to significantly change Russian plans, as they aim to maintain their security and business interests in Africa. The Wagner Group has been involved in conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, and Africa, often supporting dictatorial regimes and exploiting natural resources.
