— One can only speculate whether the ghost of Chef Prigozhin is still alive, or whether the Wagnerians are trying to conquer Moscow again, or maybe this time they will attack St. Petersburg? Tsahkna commented.
The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted a video recording and a photo of a Russian patrol boat sailing along the Narva with the flag of the Wagner Group on the X platform. The official statement emphasized that everything the Russians are trying to do on the river is happening under the “watchful eye” of the Estonian services.
— Putin seems to have run out of ideas; is he calling the Wagnerites again? – said the Prime Minister of Estonia, Kristen Michal. “There are rumors that Russia's new strategy is an internal invasion,” commented the Estonian Ministry of National Defense ironically.

The history of the Wagner group
The Wagner Group is a mercenary, private military group founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, who was called “Putin's cook” because of his catering company that supplied meals to the Russian army and the president himself. Since 2014, the group has been carrying out military activities on behalf of the Kremlin and conducting influence operations in various parts of the world. She took, among others: participation in the annexation of Crimea or operations in African and Middle Eastern countries.
At the end of June 2023, the Wagnerites, led by Prigozhin, rebelled against the command of the Russian army and began to march on Moscow. The attempted coup ended with an agreement with the authorities of the Kremlin and Belarus. Prigozhin died in a plane crash on August 23, 2023, while flying from Moscow to St. Petersburg in a private jet.
