Mercenaries from Russia’s Wagner Group are heading back to the front lines in Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin is believed to have put a former commander in charge of the force.
There have been a lot of questions about the group’s future after its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, led a failed uprising against the Kremlin.
Now it seems as if Wagner will continue to operate – but with greater oversight from Moscow
So, how could Putin profit from the mercenaries?
And could they be integrated into the army?

Michael Clarke – Visiting professor at the War Studies Department, King’s College London

John Lechner – Independent researcher with a special focus on mercenaries in Africa and author of a forthcoming book on the Wagner Group
