The main problem is that if they really started fighting, Wagner is wholly reliant on the Russian army to support them with ammunition. Wagner has no logistics and would quickly crumble from it.
Would it be good for Ukraine if they supported wagner, even just a little bit, if they decide to turn against Putin? Maybe just enough to keep them a threat, but not enough to give them a chance of achieving anything significant.
Wow thats a lot more than I expected. I thought they are just a loud bunch of mercenaries. They can actually do some decent damage if they decide to turn on putin.
How strong is Wagner compared to Russian military? Are we talking ~1/10 of the strength, 1/100, 1/1000?

I never really paid a lot of attention to the numbers. I’ll definitely start now.
I don’t think its helpful to draw a distinction between the two. Wagner is part of Russia’s military.
