The Russian Military won’t be able to “disappear” or assimilate Wagner. The situation on the African Continent entirely prevents it; Wagner needs to be there or a shit ton of $$$ will be lost and Russia cannot use regular / uniformed Russian soldiers for those…activities.
It’s easy to forget because of Prigozhin’s long association with Putin and the War in Ukraine but Wagner has a power base along with income streams that are entirely separate from Russia. They are truly a trans-national Mercenary group.
“The West” may take this opportunity to delete them but that probably wouldn’t happen until after the reaction from Prigozhin’s death has settled down. Wouldn’t want to keep them from Marching on Moscow again after all.
