The Wagner Group is a private mercenary army that has fought alongside the Russian military in Ukraine.
Its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, called for a mutiny and the group's troops in the north headed towards Moscow yesterday, but then withdrew after a deal.
The group is estimated to have about 25,000 soldiers, a figure used by Prigozhin on Friday.
In January, the UK Ministry of Defense estimated that the Wagner group commanded up to 50,000 troops, however around 20,000 of them are said to have been killed during the fighting in Ukraine.
On the other hand, the Russian army has about 800,000 active soldiers.
The force was once estimated at more than a million soldiers, but is thought to have suffered at least 220,000 casualties during the war in Ukraine.
Russia is thought to have another 250,000 service members in reserve.
