Russian officials selected Gen. Andrey Averyanov, a notorious intelligence official, to replace Yevgeny Prigozhin as the head of Wagner's Africa operations.
Gen. Andrey Averyanov is being tapped to run the Wagner Mercenary group's Africa operations following the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin.
PENTAGON SAYS WAGNER CHIEF YEVGENY PRIGOZHIN LIKELY KILLED IN PLANE CRASH, NO EVIDENCE OF MISSILE ATTACK Rescuers said they found 10 bodies in the wreckage, and Russian officials stated Sunday that a DNA analysis confirmed that Prigozhin was among them. It is unknown what caused Yevgeny Prigozhin's plane to crash, but experts believe Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the assassination."It would be harmful to make changes immediately," one Wagner employee in Africa told WSJ."The first concern now is not to lose control of the situation while waiting for the appointment of one heirs."
