European Parliament may add Wagner PMC to the list of terrorist organizations
Members of the European Parliament want to add the private military company Wagner to the list of terrorist organizations, as its mercenaries, headed by an associate of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin Yevgeny Prigozhin, participated in conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, Sudan, Mozambique and Central Africa.
On November 11, MPs from all parliamentary groups sent a letter to the President of the European Council Charles Michel and the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala, whose country holds the presidency of the Council.
In it, European politicians, referring to the constant violations of international law by the Wagnerites in Ukraine and their previous participation in other conflicts, emphasize that the PMC should be recognized as a terrorist organization.
Last week, political groups of the European Parliament agreed on the text of a resolution to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.
The text will contain a line stating that the European Parliament “recognizes Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and a state that uses terrorist means”.
