Mercenaries from Redut, Slavonic Corps and E.N.O.T, among dozens of others, have already been spotted fighting in the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began last year, according to reports.
The group E.N.O.T., a Russian acronym for United People’s Communal Partnerships, emerged in 2011 to organize militias in the Donbas region of Ukraine. The group has also been active in Syria and, since 2015, has trained its forces at camps in Serbia.
Yevgeny Prigozhin is the founder of the brutal Wagner Group. Despite leading an insurrection last month against Vladimir Putin, he remains a strong ally of the Russian leader, according to one intelligence analystDespite the proliferation of other paramilitary groups fighting in Ukraine, the Wagner Group remains powerful.
Even after Prigozhin’s attempted mutiny against Putin last month, the Wagner Group remains Russia’s dominant mercenary fighting force, said Rebekah Koffler, a Russian-born intelligence expert and the“The Wagner Group hasn’t lost momentum but rather is redeploying in Belarus,” Koffler told The Post Tuesday, adding that Prigozhin’s forces are setting up training camps in an unused military base that Putin ally Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarus president, has offered to them.
