![]() The president of South Korea has made a surprise visit to Ukraine today to meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "Wagner's internationally deployed commanders are likely arriving in Belarus to prepare training infrastructure and set conditions for the arrival of regular Wagner forces, who are reportedly slated to deploy to Belarus in early August after taking leave and undergoing reorganization following Wagner's June 24 armed rebellion," said the ISW. Wagner soldiers from its African contingent have been transferred to Belarus, according to its government, and this could indicate the paramilitary's regular forces may follow. Prigozhin's role in Wagner remains unclear, according to the US think tank, and Wagner troops do not appear to be operating in Ukraine. "Putin likely emphasized Prigozhin's differing response to frame Prigozhin as a problem in contrast to loyal Wagner commanders," said the Institute for the Study of War. Yesterday we reported how the Russian president claimed Mr Prigozhin rejected a proposal to retain Wagner as a cohesive fighting force despite his commanders agreeing with it. Vladimir Putin is attempting to separate Yevgeny Prigozhin from the Wagner Group, according to military analysts. While proposing the peace plan, the country has been accused by the US of providing weapons to Moscow in December - accusations it denies. South Africa has forged a less clear-cut approach to the war than the West or Russia's key allies like Belarus. Putin rebuffed an attempt made last month by a delegation of African leaders, including Mr Ramaphosa, seeking agreement between Ukraine and Russia on a series of "confidence-building measures" because they were based on Ukraine's internationally recognised borders. When it comes to the African peace initiative, the Kremlin gave away few details of today's phone call between the Russian president and South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa. ![]() The grain agreement provides a safe corridor to export Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea to developing nations, and its proponents say it helps reduce food prices in African nations.īut Putin has held up renewing the deal on the grounds the West should remove obstacles to the export of Russian food and fertilizer in return.
