The events of a few weeks ago placed 8,000 of Wagner's troops in Belarus - a country that's friendly towards Russia and which may allow these Russian mercenaries to wreak havoc throughout Europe, or even begin a proxy war, according to some experts.
In just 24 hours, leader of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, staged an insurrection by sending troops towards Moscow.
But by the end of Saturday, Prigozhin halted the advance and ordered his men back to base as his troops came within 124 miles (200km) of reaching Moscow.
