The Wagner Project

A NATSECMEDIA SPECIAL PROJECT

THE WAGNER INSURRECTION

THE WAGNER PROJECT will layout the timeline leading to the June 24, 2023, “insurrection” or “coup” that the Wagner PMC appeared to conduct before abruptly calling it off. We will establish a timeline of the conflict between Kremlin, Russian MOD and the PMCs from 2013 to present and the public displays of conflict by Prigozhin.

The bark dog of Prigozhin finally had to jump the shark in front of the world. With eager anticipation, people all over the globe speculated what would come next as Wagner forces turned to Rostov-on-Don and seized the Southern Military District HQ. Hours later, “All Wagner Group fighters have left the Southern Military District HQ in Rostov-on-Don”
