  2. From wiki: The Wagner Group, officially known as PMC Wagner, is a RUSSIAN STATE FUNDED paramilitary organization. It is a private military company composed of mercenaries, and has been described as a de facto private army of Russian President Vladimir Putin's former close ally Yevgeny Prigozhin. The group operates beyond the law in Russia, where private military companies are officially forbidden. There is evidence that Wagner was used as a proxy by the Russian government, allowing the Russian state to have plausible deniability for military operations abroad, and allowing it to hide the true casualties of Russia's foreign interventions. Wagner used Russian Armed Forces infrastructure and was secretly funded by the Russian state until 2023. While the group is not ideologically driven, elements of Wagner are linked to NEO-NAZISM and far-right extremism. The group was founded in 2014 by former GRU officer Dmitry Utkin and businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin. It came to prominence during the Donbas War in Ukraine, where it helped pro-Russian separatist forces from 2014 to 2015. Its contractors have reportedly taken part in conflicts around the world, including the civil wars in Syria, Libya, the Central African Republic and Mali, often fighting on the side of forces aligned with the Russian government. Wagner operatives are accused of committing war crimes including murder, torture, rape and robbery of civilians, as well as torturing accused deserters.

  3.  @markojovanovic9455  Does it matter if it is the Russian army or Russian state paid mercenaries?

  4.  @constantquestioning4010  " .... for defending itself against the U.S .......provoked conflict on Russia’s borders which threatened its security, economy, identity and existence." If Russia is defending itself against the U.S, why doesn't they attack U.S? - Why is Russia's border threatened? NATO's border has always been at Russia's border and vice versa. - Why is the economy threatened? If you mean the sanctions, this is a way of trying to force Russia to stop the war without bloodshed. - Why is your identity threatened? And by who? Do you identify yourselves as a rapist, butchering and barbaric country? Is it that culture you mean is threatened, or something else? - It's existence? Who is threaten to wipe Russia off the map?
