The Wagner Group is a non-public navy group run by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a longtime ally of Russian chief Vladimir Putin, with tens of 1000’s of fighters, in response to U.S. officers.
Earlier this 12 months, the U.S. labeled the group a “important transnational felony group” and levied new sanctions, whereas human rights observers this week stated they suspected Wagner fighters had been linked to the mass killing of individuals in Mali final 12 months.
Authorities stories, statements from U.S. officers and insights from consultants, in addition to different sources, make clear the Wagner group’s historical past and targets, its alleged wrongdoings and its significance to Russia — in Ukraine and elsewhere on the planet.
