6 sept. 2023 - Wagner Declared Terrorist Organisation

Description:

Wagner, the Russian mercenary group, is set to be proscribed as a terrorist group by the UK government - meaning it will be illegal to be a member or support the organisation.
A draft order to be laid in Parliament will allow its assets to be categorised as terrorist property and seized.

The home secretary said Wagner was "violent and destructive... a military tool of Vladimir Putin's Russia".
She said its work in Ukraine and Africa was a "threat to global security".
Suella Braverman added: "Wagner's continuing destabilising activities only continue to serve the Kremlin's political goals."
