Wagner Group Mercenaries and their Controversial Actions.
Russian lawmaker and former army commander, Viktor Sobolev, has called for a crackdown on the Wagner Group, a notorious private military company, branding it "an illegal armed formation". Moscow has outsourced much of the fighting around the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut to Wagner in recent weeks. The group's founder, oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, accused top generals of failing to supply his troops in a series of furious attacks on the top brass.
