UK 'didn't take deadly Wagner mercenary group seriously'
404The UK is underestimating the danger posed by the Wagner Group, according to MPs, who say current sanctions imposed on the mercenary fighters are "underwhelming in the extreme".
The Commons Foreign Affairs Committee warns that the Government has long failed to take seriously the danger posed by the private military company and similar groups, with MPs now urging ministers to proscribe Yevgeny Prigozhin's unit as a terrorist organisation.
The committee used, for the first time, open-source investigative research to name Wagner-linked individuals and organisations. Testimonies from former senior fighters in the group were also included.
