Wagner Mercenaries Surrender Their Weapons to Russian Military; Prigozhin Reportedly Has Cancer

The Wagner Group's hired guns have finished surrendering their weapons to the Russian military, according to the Defense Ministry on Wednesday.

This action followed the private army's brief uprising against the Kremlin's authority last month.

Russia Says Wagner Surrendered Huge Arsenal of Weapons

According to ABC New, Wagner's disarmament reflects government efforts to neutralize the threat it posed and looks to signal the end of the mercenary group's operations in Ukraine.

The acts take place in the midst of ongoing ambiguity regarding Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner, and the conditions of an agreement that gave him and his mercenaries amnesty and allowed them to leave for Belarus to put a stop to the armed uprising.

According to the Defense Ministry, more than 2,000 pieces of equipment, including tanks, rocket launchers, heavy artillery, air defense systems, and more than 2,500 metric tons of ammunition, were among the weaponry turned over.

The declaration comes as the Kremlin acknowledged on Monday that President Vladimir Putin met with Prigozhin and 34 of his top commanders on June 29, five days after the uprising.

Wagner's commanders, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, swore allegiance to Putin and stated that they were prepared "to continue to fight for the Motherland."

According to Putin, Wagner soldiers had to decide between signing contracts with the Defense Ministry, relocating to Belarus, or leaving the military.

The agreement that stopped the uprising came under new scrutiny when the Kremlin confirmed that Putin met with Prigozhin, who led troops on a march to Moscow to demand the removal of the nation's top military commanders.

Wagner Chief Allegedly Has Cancer

Meanwhile, sources said Prigozhin's intention to stage a coup against Moscow might have been influenced by his cancer diagnosis.

According to Kremlin sources, the leader endured "years of intense therapy" for stomach cancer before going into remission and had "nothing to lose" when he disagreed with his erstwhile ally Putin.

The Times stated that the warlord described his failed coup as "going bananas" while speaking to his soldiers. Prigozhin pledged to "punish" Russia after blaming it for a missile attack that killed scores at a Wagner training camp in Bakhmut, Ukraine.

As they arrived within 120 kilometers of Moscow last month, he referred to Wagner's efforts as a "march of justice" before unexpectedly ordering their convoy to turn around.

Documents about Prigozhin's cancer treatment were discovered after a raid on his residence in St. Petersburg earlier this month. Several passports were discovered, one of which belonged to "Dmitry Geiler," a "Super VIP" patient at a facility connected to President Vladimir Putin.

Many people think it had anything to do with his previous cancer treatment because it was stated that medical equipment was also discovered during the raid. According to a former Wagner employee, who added: "This is a man with a cut-out stomach and intestines," he had little to lose.

Police searched Prigozhin's home last week and found gold bars, firearms, and framed pictures of severed skulls. They also exposed a closet filled with wigs and images of Prigozhin dressed in various absurd disguises.

Similar rumors that Putin has received treatment for a deadly cancer are being spread about Prigozhin lately. The despot, 70, is allegedly "critically ill," according to persistent rumors that have been fueled by his swollen cheeks and shaking legs.

The Sun received shocking intelligence docs that seemed to corroborate Putin's early-stage Parkinson's disease and pancreatic cancer. A few days after the warlord's aborted attempt, it was revealed that Putin handed Prigozhin instructions to kill Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Yevgeny Prigozhin was supposed to go into exile as part of a pact to stop his march on Moscow, but in the final days of last month, he was quietly welcomed into the Kremlin. And now, it is alleged, he may attempt to carry out a "great atrocity" on Putin's behalf, which may entail a mission to "bring Volodymyr Zelensky's head back."

Putin spoke with Prigozhin on June 29, according to the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who confirmed this today. Five days before to the thrilling match, a column of Wagner mercenaries nearly overthrew the government and put Russia in danger.
