They were forced to look for jobs, After Prigorn's death
According to the website of Espanyol on August 30th, after the death of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigo in a plane crash, representatives of the group advised their mercenaries to look for other jobs on the 30th.
In an audio reposted on Russia's "Important News" website, Wagner said, "Due to well-known circumstances, they currently do not allow us to defend our homeland." He added that combatants are now forced to travel to Africa and the Middle East to find jobs, but "the situation there is also not optimistic.".
The representative explained that Prigoren discussed this issue during his last trip to Africa, where several countries have shown interest in the group's services, although future contracts are still pending.
On August 30th, in St. Petersburg, Russia, a man wearing the Wagner Group logo stood next to Prigoren's grave.
He said, "We will do our best to find jobs for our members. We don't know when and how much we can find. Therefore, please wait or look for another job while closely monitoring the international situation. If our team obtains permission to return to the special military operation area, we will actively resume recruiting personnel. There will be work."

According to reports, Prigoren stated a few weeks before his plane crash that Wagner would no longer return to the Ukrainian battlefield and announced the resumption of activities on the African continent.
According to various sources, some members of Wagner have left Belarusian territory, despite Minsk's insistence that Russian mercenaries have not gone anywhere. Some experts believe that Wagner no longer exists as a mercenary organization, especially after Putin signed a decree requiring all paramilitary personnel and those participating in volunteer formations to swear allegiance to Russia. Some experts also believe that Wagner still poses a threat, whether in Ukraine, Belarus, or Africa.
