US to designate #WagnerGroup as a transnational criminal organisation – #terror #ukraine #northkorea
The US will designate Russia’s Wagner group, which is believed to have thousands of mercenaries in Ukraine, a “transnational criminal organisation”. It will also impose fresh sanctions on the group and its support network next week, the White House said. According to Mr Kirby, approximately 80% of the Wagner troops deployed to Ukraine were drawn from prisons.
