THE mercenary organization Wagner complete it delivery of armaments into Russia’s regular army, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced today, more than two weeks after the short-lived mutiny of the mercenary organization.

The ministry announced that received more than 2,000 pieces of armament, including tanks and missiles and more than 2,500 tons of ammunition.

The handover followed a deal with the Kremlin that saw Wagner and its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin end their short-lived rebellion last month.

Wagner fighters, who took part in some of the fiercest fighting of the war in Ukraine, were given the choice of following Prigozhin into exile in Belarus, joining Russia’s regular armed forces or returning home.

Prigozhin said the actions of his men were aimed at protesting the corruption and inability of Russia’s military leadership to manage the war in Ukraine.

The rebellion is widely seen as the most serious challenge to President Vladimir Putin since he took over as Russia’s president on the last day of 1999.

The crisis was defused with the mediation of Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. As part of this agreement, which, according to the Kremlin, was made to avoid bloodshed, the criminal case against Prigozhin and his fighters was dropped.
