This was reported today, January 7, on the website of the Center for National Resistance.
This formation, which is legally outlawed in Russia, served thousands of prisoners who were recruited from penitentiary institutions throughout Russia. Including serious crimes, rape, infliction of grievous bodily harm, murder, etc.,” notes the CNS.
The “veteran” certificate is provided to “Wagnerites” by:
- the right to receive various social benefits and payments from the state;
- confirmation of the corresponding status.
They began to hand them over to the “Wagnerites” after Putin’s direct line, declaring the need to regulate the activities of the Wagner PIK and “renew the rights” of the members of this illegal armed group, the Central Tax Service notes.
After the unsuccessful rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin in the summer of 2023, Wagner participants were assigned to Storm Z units from Russia. Also, a small number of them were sent through Belarus to Africa, where Russia supports a number of local dictatorial regimes.
