Deep dives
The Wagner Group remains a significant threat despite the death of Progosion
The death of Wagner Group Basia of Guinean Prigozhin hasn't diminished the group's activities. Wagner Group's operations span multiple continents and its main objective is to help autocratic and corrupt regimes maintain their power in exchange for natural resources. The group continues to evolve and adapt, driven by profit and organized crime. It poses a threat to failing regimes and seeks to control and exploit Africa's resources. Prescribing Wagner Group as a terrorist organization in the UK criminalizes support for the group and allows for seizure of its assets.
