The 400-strong squad of bloodthirsty mercenaries flown in from Africa with orders to kill Volodymyr Zelenskyy are part of a notorious private militia linked to a string of rapes, robberies, murders, and alleged war crimes.
The Wagner Group - which is believed to have a hit list of 23 key figures including the Klitschko brothers - is considered by military experts to be at the beck and call of Vladimir Putin, although the Kremlin has repeatedly denied this.

Pure theater.
He will get away by the hair of his chinny chinny chin and will be a hero, much like our Patton or MacArthur. He will be elevated and everyone will do his bidding.

“This report may be propaganda rather than objective news coverage.”
The Wagner Group is not new. We’ve known about them for years. They are a Russian paramilitary organization. It is de facto a private military company (or private military contracting agency), whose contractors have reportedly taken part in various conflicts, including operations in the Syrian civil war on the side of the Syrian government as well as, from 2014 until 2015, in the war in Donbas in the Ukraine aiding the separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics. All major countries have these types of people…the US included.

Sounds like a statement of fact to me.
Is there any such thing as “objective news coverage” anymore?
“Have the Russians started eating babies and drinking their blood yet?”
They don’t have to. They hire other people for that.
It’s clear they dusted off Wilson’s WWI Propaganda Playbook, they are following it to a “T”.
Nothing good has ever come out of Africa.
The Chechen terrorists didn't work out, so it's bottom of the barrel time for Pooty-Poot.
