British intelligence believes that the decisive factor in the outcome of Prigozhin's mutiny against the Russian military leadership was that Russian security forces remained loyal to the Kremlin, especially the Rosgvardia.

It was also previously reported that Redut PMC recruits mercenaries in Russia under the guise of volunteers, including former Wagner fighters. Currently, the PMC has over 7,000 members.

The Institute for the Study of War claims that the Russian Guard is recruiting former Wagner fighters to Chechen units of the Akhmat special forces.

On October 29, Wagner PMC announced that it would officially become part of Rosgvardia and return to the war in Ukraine.
