I wouldn’t yell “Bingo” on that one yet: Russia likely has its own sources for mercenaries; they don’t have to go so far afield - yet. These mercs might be “domestic” Russians, or from the Caucasus, or one of the Central Asian “‘stans”.

The Wagner Group

Russia sent The Wagner Group—named after Hitler’s favourite composer—to assassinate Ukraine’s Jewish president. Its leader, Dmitri Utkin, proudly displays his Nazi tattoos.

Is that what Putin means by “de-nazification”?https://t.co/sYLLcVh931 pic.twitter.com/hG8jurA1oe
