Wagner Group connected to white supremacists, Tech against Terrorism investigation finds
Russian mercenaries fighting in, including the Kremlin-backed Wagner Group, have been linked to far-right extremism including an organisation designated by the US as terrorist, analysis reveals.
Adam Hadley, the executive director of Tech Against Terrorism, a London-based initiative supported by the UN counter-terrorism executive directorate, said their analysis indicated that Russian-backed forces in Ukraine, including the Wagner Group, are “almost certainly connected with extreme far-right organisations”., we suggest he should first root out neo-Nazis in his own ranks before pointing the finger at others.
Another recent VK posting lists Rusich as part of a coalition of separatist groups and militias including the extreme far-right group, Russian National Unity. The Tech Against Terrorism analysis found a prominent Wagner Group-affiliated Telegram channel sharing an image in May 2021 of the Kolovrat allegedly daubed on a cliff in Palmyra, Syria.
Military experts believe that mercenaries allow the Kremlin – which has always denied any links with mercenary groups – to keep its death toll down.
