Sources in Belarus said that some Wagner base camps were being dismantled the evening of Aug. 23, and that members of the private military group were forming convoys to leave the country.

"The convoys are likely heading towards the border with Russia," the Center said.

According to the Center's sources in Belarus, the Belarusian government did not authorize the mercenary group's withdrawal. Belarusian special services are reportedly trying to intercept the convoys at the border.

Assuming Prig is actually dead, and maybe more importantly, the guy actually in charge of Wagner is dead, these guys will probably just go home and integrate with the Russian military.

And change to a shit pay? Didn't some general make his own PMC to compete with Wagner? Maybe now the competition is dead they'll hire these ronin.

Gazprom formed their own group of mercs relatively recently, so that might be what you are thinking of.

While Wagner was the largest and most well known PMC, there have always been several others that don't get much press: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_private_military_contractors#Russian_companies
