Those who refused to participate [in the insurrection] will sign contracts with Russia's Defense Ministry

So Wagner will be absorbed into Russian forces. I wonder how the mercenaries feel about this.

@DarkGamer what it will be difficult will be to absorb into Russian forces the teams of Wagner deployed in other countries, especially African countries. They have been deployed as private contractors working for the local government or for local rebel groups. But... as part of the Russian Army that is diplomatically unsustainable (only exception Syria, since Russia is present there).
