The Wagner Group is used extensively by the Russian government in
conflicts in Syria, Ukraine, and across the African continent. The
private military company serves as a shadow military consisting of
thousands of highly-trained and well-equipped mercenaries. From war
crimes to trafficking in illicit goods, they have earned a
reputation as one of the most significant sources of instability in
countries across Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. The
United Nations Human Rights Council's Jelena Aparac and former CIA
paramilitary case officer Philip Wasielewski look at how and where
the group does Vladimir Putin's dirty work. They examine the role
Wagner forces are currently playing on the battlefield in Ukraine
and whether the international community should designate them as an
international terrorist organization. The panel is joined by the
former head of MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, who adds insights into
Russia's asymmetric warfare tactics and what else may be in store
as the Kremlin looks for more ways to destabilize its neighbors and
other vulnerable nations.
