Vladimir Putin has "failed to decisively resolve" the consequences of Wagner's June rebellion, the institute is quoted as saying.

He added that speculation about Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu taking over Russian military operations in Africa from Wagner is "infuriating Wagner's staff."

In addition, the Wagner forces may withdraw because Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko refused to fund the group after Russia refused funding, ISW said, citing a Russian insider. /Telegraph/
