Russian Africa Corps Expands Influence Amid Sanctions

The Russian Wagner Group, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, played a significant role in the Ukrainian war by capturing cities like Bakhmut. However, its influence swiftly diminished on the Ukrainian battlefield.

Over the past year, the group has reemerged under the new name Africa Corps, focusing its efforts in Africa. This shift has been successful, allowing President Vladimir Putin to mitigate the effects of Western sanctions through violent activities on the continent.
