Research Analyst, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr Jason Wahlang’s article ‘Post-Prigozhin Wagner: What the Future Holds’ has been published in myRepublica Nepal on 23 September 2023.
There were reports of other PMCs providing Wagner support during the Ukraine campaign in Bakhmut but they did not involve themselves in the coup attempts and were limited to serving their leadership and the Russian state. There is a limited chance that any other PMC would take up strong anti-state sentiments as Wagner did, and they would instead learn from the mistakes of Wagner and ensure a pro-state policy to ensure their long-term survival, says Dr Wahlang.
