Great Britain officially declares the Wagner group as a terrorist organization

The UK has officially designated the Russian mercenary group Wagner as a terrorist organization after an order was passed in parliament and backed by lawmakers on September 6, which would make it illegal to be a member or support it.

"This order comes into force with immediate effect and will make it a criminal offense to belong to the Wagner Group or actively support the group in the UK, with a possible sentence of 14 years in prison, which may be served alongside or in lieu of a fine," the UK government said in a press release on Friday.

Wagner's boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin, and the group's field commander, Dmitriy Utkin, died last month in what Western officials believe was a deliberate plane crash, two months after Prigozhin staged a short-lived rebellion against the Kremlin, the most big for Russian President Vladimir Putin who has been in power for more than two decades.

Most security experts doubt that Wagner will survive in its current form without Prigozhin, but that has not stopped the UK from moving against the group. / CNA
