The US on Friday said that it will, in the coming week, be imposing additional sanctions on the Russian private military company, Wagner Group.
“Wagner is a criminal organization that is committing widespread atrocities and human rights abuses, and we will work relentlessly to identify, disrupt, expose, and target those assisting Wagner,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said in a briefing.
Kirby said the designation will pave the way for tougher sanctions, and throttle its ability to do business globally.
