Wagner Group accused of brutal beheadings in Bakhmut battle.

The Wagner Group, a private military company, has been accused of committing war crimes in the battle for the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. Videos posted by Russian social media users show the remains of a head belonging to a Ukrainian serviceman on a spike. The Geneva Convention prohibits the mutilation and despoilment of dead bodies in war. Wagner forces have also been accused of human rights violations in other countries, including Mali. The Wagner Group was designated as a transitional criminal organization by the White House in January.
