“Putin’s unprovoked and illegal war against Ukraine has been made more deadly because of the Wagner Group. These mercenaries have been credibly linked to countless atrocities in Ukraine as well as Syria and across the African continent,” said Senator Cardin, Co-Chair of the U.S. Helsinki Commission. “The U.S. must step up and immediately designate the Wagner Group as the terrorists they are. It is the best way to hold them and Russia accountable for their human rights violations. We must do all we can to diminish the strength of Putin’s invading forces.”
The Wagner Group is a para-military organization that employs thousands of mercenaries. It has been widely condemned for its work as a private military for Russian President Vladimir Putin, conducting terrorist operations in Ukraine, Mali, Sudan, and the Central African Republic that resulted in the massacre of civilians since 2014.
The Wagner Group has also murdered and threatened journalists, kidnapped children, deployed nerve agents against civilians, committed acts of torture, and engaged in rape and sex trafficking of women and children. Wagner has also taken weapons deliveries from North Korea, a designated State Sponsor of Terrorism.

Terrorists calling Terrorists "Terrorists".
What do we call the banderites in Ukraine?
Friendly nazis?
This hypocrisy here knows no bounds...
Wagner doesn't worry me near as much as the Terrorists in our country who blew up the NordStream pipeline.
These stories are just an attempt to distract us from our real enemies amongst us. It's not Russia, China, Iran, Syria, etc. It's the bloodthirsty lunatics running our country who enjoy recycling poor people into profits for the MIC.

They arent any different from the US version of the blackwater mercenaries.

Blackwater may be bad but at least they're not overt Nazis.

After seeing the sledgehammer executions by Wagner, I cant really muster up even an ounce of pity for them if they get designated a terrorist organization.
If you are trying to defend them look past both sides propaganda and look at what they have done and are doing, if someone designated blackwater a terrorist organization for the hinky stuff they did in Iraq again I would have no pity for them.
