A criminal case is being launched by Ukraine on the founder of the Russian Wagner mercenary group.
Yevgeny Prigozhin is accused of 'encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine'.Ukraine's prosecutor general is launching a criminal case against the Russian head and founder of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin. According to a statement on Telegram, Prigozhin, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is accused of the"encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine" and"waging an aggressive war"."Prosecutors have already interrogated two such fighters who are in the EU. An investigation into the involvement in war crimes of another PMK member, who is in Norway [is] under way," the statement said.
Earlier this week, Medvedev told the Reuters news agency that he was speaking out against the Wagner group to ensure perpetrators were brought to justice.Security arrangements have also been made for Medvedev’s safety,"both visible and non-visible" measures, they added, without giving specifics.The previously shadowy group has taken centre stage during the invasion of Ukraine and is associated with the bloody battle for Bakhmut in the east of the country.
Late in January, the United States designated Russia's Wagner mercenary group as a"transnational criminal organisation", piling pressure on the private army that has recruited tens of thousands of Russian prisoners to fight in Ukraine.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
