The government of this country has taken urgent action, informed during the Wagner incident | Syria | government
According to the German news television channel website on July 7th, insiders revealed that during the Wagner incident in Russia, the Syrian government and Russian military quickly took action against Wagner's mercenaries in Syria. Insiders say this is to prevent the rebellion from spreading to Syria.
According to reports, the measures taken by the Syrian government and the Russian military at the time included cutting off telephone lines and summoning the commander of the Wagner Group to Russian military bases.
It is said that at that time, the mercenaries of the Wagner Group were asked to make a decision: if they did not sign a new contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense, they would have to leave Syria.

Insiders revealed that during the Wagner incident, senior Syrian military and intelligence officials were deeply concerned. They are concerned that the incident will have a negative impact on their ally Russia's military presence in the country. Therefore, the Syrian military intelligence department immediately cut off the fixed telephone and Internet lines of Wagner's troops. This is to prevent members of the Wagner forces in Syria from exchanging information with each other, as well as with Russian Wagner forces or relatives in their hometowns.

According to insiders, the number of mercenaries who refused to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense and chose to leave Syria was lower than expected, with only a few dozen.
According to reports, Russia dispatched armed forces, especially air forces, to Syria in 2015. Since then, the Wagner Group has been involved in combat and protecting oil facilities in Syria. The Wagner Group has approximately 250 to 450 soldiers in Syria.
According to the report, Navar Shaban of Türkiye's Omran Strategic Research Center said that in view of this incident, Wagner no longer works for the Syrian Ministry of Defense. The Wagner Group withdrew many experienced soldiers from Syria last year and sent them to Ukraine.
