EXCLUSIVE: Three government officials have told The Daily Beast that more than a hundred former Central African Republic rebels taken by the Wagner Group to Russia last month for military training are set to fight in Ukraine
s closest associates—to Russia last month for military training are set to fight in Ukraine, three government officials told The Daily Beast.
Of the number that traveled, according to the officials, only 100 returned to CAR at the start of March while the rest remained in Russia for deployment in Ukraine. “Those former rebels who haven’t returned will certainly be involved in Ukraine, backing the Russians,” a CAR defense ministry official told The Daily Beast. “It’s the reason they’ve stayed back in Russia.”
“They [the former rebels] were telling everyone around them that they were going to Russia to train and then travel to Ukraine afterwards,” said Hatem Awal, whose cousin fought for the UPC for a little over a year until he surrendered to CAR forces in 2021. “When we didn’t see them return with the others, we weren’t surprised.”
