  1. Absolutely agreed and supported.

  2. Valid question with regard to entitlements for family or for the member of the forces. It appears that Russia does as much as they can to limit financial liabilities, which I would think is what you are referring to.

  3. ​ @davidhowse884  Thanks for your response, David. I would not be at all surprised to hear that either or both Prigozhin and Utkin were still alive and opening up a new operation in an African or another countrry somewhere else. While Prigozhin was the face of Wagner PMC in Ukraine, the other operations in Mali, Lybia and elsewhere still continued to function in the way that Wagner is known for. That means that there are possibly a number of command echelons operating independently, while responding to and responsible to a centralised command centre of operations. Hence, I believe, the value of Prigozhin and Utkin to the Kremlin. Some months before Girkin/Strelkov was imprisoned, he was talking of his possible assignment and involvement in a possible insurgency in Kazakhstan. If it is believed that Prigozhin and Utkin are both dead, they cannot be charged with crimes by the ICC. This means that they are still free to travel under alias's without fear of being arrested on charges initiated by the ICC, in the way that Putin and Lvova-Belova now are confined to only a few countries. Consequently, I think it unlikely that there will be any change in the Mali, Libyan, the Central African Republic and any other operations. Best Wishes PNH Peregrine ================================== The following extracts are offered in date order, from oldest to most recent. They give some indication of the Extent and type of Wagner PMC activities and operations. "Wagner was rewarded by its allies with access to natural resources. In 2020, a Wagner-linked company, Midas Resources, gained control of the Ndassima mine in the Central African Republic, whose previous owner estimated that it might contain as much as $2.7 billion in gold. {4 days ago}" "Colonel Sadio Camara (Camara), a Malian national, is Mali’s Minister of Defense. Colonel Camara planned and organized the deployment of the Wagner Group in Mali. In 2021, Camara made several trips to Russia to solidify the agreement between the Wagner Group and the Malian transition government to deploy the Wagner Group to Mali." In late December 2021, Wagner PMCs took part in a large-scale military operation against ISIL cells in the Syrian desert. "Written Submission {PDF format} on Wagner’s Activities in Libya Submitted by [Organisation name redacted] (WGN0014) Note from the Foreign Affairs Committee: The details of the organisation that provided this evidence have been redacted on request, prior to publication. May 2022 "On 31 May 2022, Human Rights Watch stated that information from Libyan agencies and demining groups linked the Wagner Group to the use of banned landmines and booby traps in Libya. These mines killed at least three Libyan deminers before the mines' locations were identified." How many soldiers does the Wagner Group have? White House officials estimate the private mercenary group employs around 50,000 soldiers - most of them believed to be assigned to Ukraine. Of those, 40,000 are thought to be convicts who have been employed from prisons in Russia. 24 June 2023 Mali: "Since then, Wagner — a paramilitary group led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former hot dog vender turned warlord — has been implicated in hundreds of human rights abuses alongside the country's military, including a 2022 massacre that killed 500 civilians. Human Rights Watch's new findings add to the grim toll. 24 July 2023" "Wagner Group personnel have engaged in an ongoing pattern of serious criminal activity, including mass executions, rape, child abductions, and other brutalities in the Central African Republic (CAR) and Mali. 26 July 2023" "In early 2023, the Biden Administration designated Wagner a Transnational Criminal Organization (TCO), citing, in part, abuses in Africa. U.S. officials have accused Wagner of using gold from Africa to finance operations in Ukraine, and of seeking to move weapons via Mali for use in Ukraine. 3 Aug 2023" "The United Nations reported that Malian troops and their foreign security partners, believed to be part of the Russian Wagner mercenary group, are using violence against women and other human rights abuses to spread terror as part of the decade-long conflict between the government and insurgency groups. 11 Aug 2023" "The Polish government is reported to have said there are between 3,500 and 5,000 Wagner mercenaries in Belarus. They are thought to be based at military camps in the south of the country, at Tsel and Brestsky. The Belarusian defence ministry says they are training the country's territorial forces. 6 Sept 2023" "Wagner was rewarded by its allies with access to natural resources.

  4. "The 1999–2000 battle of Grozny was the siege and assault of the Chechen capital Grozny by Russian forces, lasting from late 1999 to early 2000. The siege and fighting left the capital devastated. In 2003, the United Nations called Grozny the most destroyed city on Earth.[7] Between 5,000[5] and 8,000 civilians[6] were killed during the siege, making it the bloodiest episode of the Second Chechen War."

  6. The Russians will definitely lose this WAR that they have waged on Ukraine. It sounds as though the Russians are making a spearhead to punch through, Roman legion style. The Ukrainians have the versatility and the mobility to respond appropriately.

  8. Let the Russians go nuclear. Either "all hell will break loose" or Russia will have all their military assets, both hardware and infrastructure, devastated by conventional weapons. The Russians will not get a second chance. So, believe what you want, it won't make any difference. The Ukrainians have accomplished a great deal recently, in terms of eliminating Russian assets, it is highly likely that Russia will be defeated. For Ukraine and the Free World, that is the only possible outcome. 🇺🇦 Victory for Ukraine, Absolute Victory 🇺🇦

  9.  @7Vooby  "Putin" is used as the generic term for the "Russian political and military establishment". Rather than using his name, I prefer to use the longer form.
