“Murder, Rape and War Crimes” The Street following Putin's private army

widely considered by military experts as ready to call Vladimir Putin, the mercenary group is among the latest lists of British individuals and organisations sanctioned for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, it was reported that “Wagner” was tasked with killing President Voldymyr Zelensky and other senior Ukrainian figures, including the Klitschko brothers, who are making an extraordinary resistance in Kiev.

Kremlin, in turn, has flatly denied access to the merc group estimated to have 600 active troops, but experts say it has been deployed worldwide to carry out Moscow's “dirty operations”.

In December, the EU charged “Wagner Group” with serious human rights violations in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Central African Republic, Sudan and Mozambique.

This force has already been involved in the supply of weapons, experienced personnel and military training for militia in eastern Ukraine.

The rented army, headed by Oligarch Yevgeny Pigozin, a close ally of the Russian president, who is otherwise known as Putin's “cook, was sent to Ukraine weeks ago and is thought to have received a large sum of money for his services. /a2cn
