A fine of up to 500,000 rubles for discrediting volunteer units participating in the SVO also applies to the PMC Wagner. This was announced by the official representative of the Kremlin and the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
“Undoubtedly. We are talking about all formations,” Peskov said, answering the corresponding question from the “Moscow Speaks” radio station.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law punishing up to 7 years in prison for discrediting OSV members. The article on forgery in relation to the Russian Armed Forces now also applies to volunteers, with the maximum penalty of up to 15 years in a colony.
