ICYMI: The Wagner Group And The Coup Attempt In Russia

Beyond The Horizon

The Wagner Group is a Russian private military company (PMC) that gained attention in recent years for its involvement in various conflicts and operations abroad. The group is believed to have close ties to the Russian government, although the exact nature of their relationship remains somewhat secretive.The Wagner Group first gained attention for its activities in Ukraine, particularly during the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.
It is believed that the group provided support to pro-Russian separatist forces in the region, playing a significant role in several key battles. However, the Russian government has consistently denied any official involvement with the Wagner Group.Since then, the Wagner Group has been linked to other conflicts and operations around the world, including Syria, Libya, and the Central African Republic.
They have been reported to provide military support, training, and security services to various clients, often in areas where the Russian government has strategic interests.Due to the nature of their operations and the lack of official transparency, detailed information about the Wagner Group and its members is often limited.
The group has been the subject of media scrutiny and has been accused of human rights abuses, mercenaries' deaths, and destabilizing actions in conflict zones. However, the exact size, structure, and leadership of the Wagner Group remain largely speculative, as the organization maintains a secretive nature.
The Wagner group has also played a key role in Ukraine during the Russian invasion. In this episode, we take a look at the situation that unfolded in Russia over the weekend and who some of the players involved in the game were.
