Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

Bill introduced in the Senate to designate the Wagner Group as a terrorist organization

A group of US senators have introduced a bipartisan bill requiring the US Secretary of State to designate Russian private military company Wagner Group as a terrorist organization.

“There is no doubt that the Wagner Group has killed journalists, kidnapped children, raped women, exhibited savage and barbaric behavior that gives new meaning to the word ‘terrorists,'” Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal told reporters.

Blumenthal noted that although the State Department has already imposed sanctions against the Wagner Group, if the law passes, it will provide tools for further sanctions.

Blumenthal is counting on the bill to garner significant support in the U.S. Senate, which last year passed a bipartisan resolution calling on the secretary of state to declare Russia a state sponsor of terrorism.
