The French parliament unanimously adopted a resolution calling on the government and the European Union to add the so-called Wagner Group to the list of terrorist organizations.
Source. This was reported by the BBC.
The resolution is non-binding, but it reflects the unity of the entire spectrum of French political forces on this issue. In the National Assembly, dozens of seats are held by MPs and political associations known for their rather conciliatory attitude to the putin regime.
"Wherever they operate, the members of Wagner spread instability and violence," AFP quoted the author of the resolution, MP from the ruling (Macronist) party Benjamin Addad, as saying.
"They kill and torture. They slaughter and loot. They intimidate and manipulate with complete impunity," the MP emphasized.
And all this, according to him, they do not only because they need money, but also because they "follow a broad strategy, from Mali to Ukraine, to support the aggressive policy of President putin's regime towards democracies."
"Wagner and its head, Yevgeny Prigozhin, are already on various sanctions lists of Western countries.
The EU list of terrorist organizations includes organizations such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Earlier, the parliaments of Lithuania and Estonia voted to add Wagner to the list.
Background. As a reminder, Prigozhin again complained about the lack of ammunition and called putin an "asshole." At the same time, the Wagnerites were warned that leaving Bakhmut would be regarded as a betrayal of the homeland.
