It's unclear to what extent the Wagner Group does the Kremlin's bidding as Prigozhin himself has repeatedly denied any involvement. But as a private enterprise, the profits for them in Africa are spectacular. And, as with so many of the biggest Russian businesses, Wagner's successes are owed to the Russian state and the kleptocratic elites who are likely to share in its revenue.
The Kremlin provides direct support where profit interests align with Russia's political interests. At the moment, the troubled countries in which the Wagner Group is alleged to be involved in conflict and destabilisation provide resources and political support at the UN, which are important for Russia's war on Ukraine. Further regional instability is to be expected.
