Episode notes

There is literally no legal entity called the wagner group. The vast majority of forces, as far as we know, come from smaller cities across russia. And so to sanction it is to kind of suggest you don't really know exactly how to get your arms around the problem.

The Wagner Group, a superviolent (and supersecretive) team of Kremlin-aligned mercenaries, is doing Vladimir Putin’s dirty work in Ukraine and around the world.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, engineered by Paul Mounsey, and edited by Matt Collette (who also did the fact-check) and Noel King (who also hosted).
