The US will impose fresh sanctions on Russia's Wagner mercenary group, and has released newly declassified photos of a suspected rocket transport from North Korea

The US Treasury Department will designate the Russian mercenary organization Wagner Group as a “transnational criminal organization” and will impose additional sanctions next week against the group and its support network across the world, the White House said on Friday.

” Tensions between Russian military and mercenary group More broadly, the US assesses that tensions between the Russian Defense Ministry and Wagner are increasing as Russian President Vladimir Putin increasingly relies on Wagner to carry out operations in Ukraine. There are around 50,000 Wagner Group fighters currently deployed to Ukraine, according to Kirby, including 10,000 contractors and 40,000 convicts.

Ok

NatashaBertrand How can anyone listen or believe a word you say about Russia? Natasha: “What more evidence do you need… “ in relation to the Alfa Bank hoax? No apology, no explanation, no remorse, no shame? You’re a sick excuse for a journalist

Between 2010 and 2012 the U.S. supplied 140 refurbished M1A1 Abrams tanks to Iraq. We are waiting for tanks in Ukraine

And in return, nuclear weapons.

Kind of the same as the US supplying Ukraine with military equipment. What's the difference, it's WW3 and Ukraine is losing badly despite all of the propaganda from the West and the EU.

Why is CNN so corrupt

White House and DOJ agreed to hide Biden’s classified doc scandal from the American people until it leaked to the press, WaPo reports.

I feel incredible.

The classified documents recovered from a garage?

🤮🤢

You know when I was 5 years old I used to watch cowboy western movies 🎥 in X USSR (Russia) . Always bartender in a movie was Asian . I used ask my dad why ? 😂

US double-edge sword hypocrisy ? whole wide-world watching..

Very soon Russia will sanction the west, then they will understand what it takes to be sanction by Russia 🇷🇺 ✌️

Hey also POTUS Biden has mountains and mountains of classified documents at his home and other places he should never have had them!! On top of having private meetings with his son Hunter’s China Business partners! Let’s report that!

All such mercenary group should be sanctioned all over the world.

Lmfao. This does nothing!

Why ignore the antifa terrorist arrests this week?

Biden Crime Family next?

On a very long train looks like an easy target to derailed

How did the stale sanctions work out for the US🤔

What about Zelinsky army of Azov Neo Nazis battalions of terrorist Banderas that once considered a terrorist by US/West, now that they fight Russians are heroes. Remines me of the terrorists Taliban that US once helped and funded and they turned around and made 911.

long LONG overdue

Wagner kicking their NATO Nazi troops in Ukraine so badly 😹💀

Seem to remember there were WMDs in Iraq...supposedly American intelligence is on par with Graham Lyndsey .thick as mince.

✌️...! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦.... to deactivate the activated dictators of the world 🌎 and for the democratic process to prevail over the world as democracy is a pathway for a 🕊️ peaceful and a prosperous world for the generationrestoration ..... on our only 'living'planet Earth

Why just Wagner...remove the visas of all Russians, and send them back. We the west are too weak.

Russia, Iran, North Korea team up to smash Ukraine democracy? What a wonderful world…Not!!!

Oh no not SANCTIONS. How will the Wagner Group possibly survive this?

Um, why not just declare them a terrorist organization and take appropriate measures?

Putin is looking at the Wagner Group to strengthen his dictatorship in Russia and is probably working with them for long term control of Russia. This is far beyond Ukraine in Putin’s long term plans Putin must be stopped now

The US should designate Russia as a 'transnational criminal organization.' It's a gangster-money-laundering-genocidal-terrorist nation led by a den of thieving murderers invading/raiding sovereign democracies bleeding them & Russia dry of assets for self-enrichment. Disgusting.

Means nothing. Their economy moved on without the West. Production and exports have risen to China and india and their currency is stable. Oooops!

Ukraine don’t be fool listening 👂 West . You realize war is against Russia,China ,Iran ,North Korea. War will be forever if you don’t kick out pro western government.

Sanctions are useless. What US is doing is totally bs! Americans whitewashed neo Nazi AzovRegiment, allows info posting about those far right on Facebook. Wagner delivers results in that war, so Americans sanctions them. It will not impact Wagner's work.

This war will spill to Europe if no peace achieved .

atx91swm19eptx

Likely to be lies.

If only their concern didn’t end where their disgusting actions begin

Ukraine kick out pro western government. Make a peace with Russia . Otherwise you will not see peace till 2040 like Afghanistan

The US should designate Russia as a 'transnational criminal organization.' It's a gangster-money-laundering-genocidal-terrorist nation led by a den of thieving murders invading/raiding sovereign democracies bleeding them & Russia dry of assets for self-enrichment. Disgusting.

But all the American “private security companies”, as the U.S loves to call them so to minimize their immorality, aren’t exactly the same thing? Oh right, the American companies are only larger conglomerates and receive more money from their state to promulgate US’s war machine🤢

Newly declassified photos?! Why declassify them? Were they next to the Corvette?

Ya that will work like the sanctions that are already in place what a joke

❤️🇺🇦🇺🇸

Why? Well, I am sure you know why.

Hmmm!

naZi ruSSia is getting borderline pathetic

We're way past sanctions,we need to move on to Sorties Reapitputin

Lol… funny how we moved from the times of being obsessed with terrorism to now naming mercinary groups (blackwater, trident group) as threats

The US think they run the world 🌎.!!!!

'Fresh sanctions'. The question is - why haven't they been sanctioned to the maximum already, how is there room for more?

Opinion: Even by Russia's standards, this was a particularly repulsive attack | CNNAs Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches the one year mark, the bombing of a residential building in Dnipro -- with a missile usually reserved for sinking ships -- should not be seen as simply another red line crossed by the Kremlin, writes Michael Bociurkiw. Ukraine should really stop bombing their own civilians. Russia is a terrorist! Stop russians!
