Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian oligarch and private military contractor,
has announced that his mercenaries will not engage in fighting in Ukraine,
at least for the time being. The decision comes amid escalating tensions
between Russia and Ukraine, and international concerns over potential
military involvement of private entities. Prigozhin, who owns the Wagner
Group, a controversial paramilitary organization, stated that his fighters
would remain on standby but will not be sent to Ukraine immediately. The
situation remains fluid as the international community closely monitors
developments in the region. The ongoing conflict has raised questions about
the use of private military forces and their implications for regional
stability and security.
