 Wagner forces running to fight in Ukraine. Some Wagner group fighters are likely returning to fight in the ranks of the Russian occupation army in Ukraine. However, the mercenaries will not be able to help the invaders change the situation in their favor on the front line. The Institute for the Study of War said this. Disjointed Wagner group contingents reportedly returning to fight in Ukraine are likely to have a marginal impact on Russian combat capabilities. The report said. According to ISW analysts, Wagner mercenaries will unlikely influence Russian combat capabilities without bringing the full suit of effectiveness Wagner had had as a unitary organization under financier Evgeny Prigoshin's and founder Dmitry Utkin's leadership. The ISW cites a statement by the former head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Serhii Haydai, on September the 23rd that Wagner personnel are operating in the Luhansk region and across different sectors of the front line. Haydai also stated that he did not know the number of Wagner personnel or the organization under which these Wagner personnel are operating in Ukraine. A Wagner affiliated source claimed that about 500 Wagner personnel, including those who refused to participate in the Wagner rebellion on June the 24th, have joined a new unspecified organization organized by the former Wagner personnel department head and will likely return to Ukraine to fight on the southern flank of Bakhmut.
