Here's the thing :
Deputy Defence Minister Nikolai Pankov announced in June 10 that "volunteer formations" will be asked to sign contracts directly with the Russian Ministry of Defence.
This will give volunteer formations the necessary legal status, create common approaches to the organization of comprehensive support and the fulfilment of their tasks.
The contracts must be signed
by 1 July. This new relationship between the Wagner Group and the Defense Ministry will involve greater military command and control over the Wagner's operations
Prigozhin told the defense officials to go fuck themselves and that the Wagner Group was already “organically” integrated into the overall Russian system.
Then came the "military coup." After a mere 24h, Prigozhin already announced his retreat + cancellation of his "march of justice" on Moscow.
He uploaded a voice message on his official telegram channel
https://t.me/concordgroup_officialIn the message, he declared :
They wanted to dissolve Wagner Group. On June 23, we set off on our ‘march of justice.’ In the span of 24 hours, we got within 200 kilometers of Moscow. During that time, not a single drop of our fighters’ blood was shed. Now we’ve reached the moment where bloodshed is possible. So, understanding the full responsibility for the potential shedding of Russian blood from either side, we’re turning our columns around and heading back in the opposite direction towards our field camps, according to plan.
note the amount of "clown" smileys he got for it ( still counting )

Prigozhin is currently fleeing to Belarus, thanks to Lukashenko ( who appeared out of nowhere to appease/regulate the situation lol )
Finally, Dmitry Peskov ( Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation ) announced a few hours ago that all Wagner mercenaries who did not take part in this joke
are now going to sign the damn contract.
