The head of the SBU accused PMC "Wagner" of participating in the conflict in the Donbass

86
The head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasily Gritsak claims that the Ukrainian special services established the participation of the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) in conflicts in the Donbas since 2014 and later in Syria.

I want to inform ... that the evidence base of the activities of the Russian military in the Donbass and Syria has been collected ... The activities of the Wagner group ... Campaign leader - Dmitri Utkin
- said Gritsak at a briefing in Kiev on Saturday.



According to him, today 1578 people have been installed - members of the PMCs of Wagner.

For the first time, the activity of the group was recorded from 21 May 2014. The geography of the "Wagner Group" - ORDL, then - Syria. The number of "Wagner groups" in Syria was 1350 people (in the region of Latakia and Homs)
- Gritsak reported

The head of the SBU accused PMC "Wagner" of participating in the conflict in the Donbass


According to V. Gritsak, the SBU has information about the participation of 277 members of the “Wagner Group” both in hostilities in the Donbas and in Syria. At the same time, according to his data, 67 of them died.

Gritsak, in particular, said that the SBU had established the involvement of PMC Wagner in the destruction of IL-76 in the Donbas, the storming of the Lugansk airport and the events in Debaltseve (Donetsk region).

What did the Wagner group do ... shooting down the IL-76 with our paratroopers on board (Ukrainian military transport IL-76 was shot down from an anti-aircraft missile system on the night of 14 on June 2014 of the year when landing at the Luhansk airfield, 40 died Ukrainian soldiers and nine crew members - IF), the storming of the Lugansk airport ... the storming of Debaltseve
- he said.
According to him, 72 militant PMCs took part in the first two operations, of which 15 people were lost.

We know by the names of each. In the storming of Debaltseve 205, Wagner’s militants took part; the casualties are 51 people, we know everyone
- he said.

V. Gritsak clarified that the Ukrainian special services identified 1578 members of PMCs Wagner, including losses.

For the collection of information was used and the agency, and operational and technical measures, and open sources
- Said the head of the SBU.

According to V. Gritsak, Ukraine considers the members of the PMC Wagner as fighters of the armed forces of the Russian Federation.

December 28 2016 of the year adopted amendments to the legislation of Russia, which are allowed to involve non-military personnel in the performance of military tasks regarding the suppression of terrorist activities outside Russia. At the same time, such persons are considered to be those who perform the duties of military service ... thus, with 28.12.2016, we consider the members of Wagner’s private military campaign as military personnel
- explained the head of the SBU.

He said that the SBU had written a notice of suspicion to the head of the Wagner PMC D.Utkin.

Our investigators issued a notice of suspicion for Utkin ... Let's give it to the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine on Monday, we hope that the GPU will support us
- said V. Gritsak.

The head of the SBU did not disclose the article on which D.Utkin’s suspicion was issued. He also noted that the data on the "Wagner Group" of the Security Service of Ukraine transfers the special services of Europe and other countries, given this "private army" can be used "to destabilize the situation anywhere in the world."

The head of the SBU said that on October 19, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry together with the Ministry of Information Policy in Brussels will hold a special briefing on the "Wagner campaign," reports Interfax-AVN

    Maybe not PMCs, but the Cheka? And what is crime? What is the reason for the noise? Surely they according to documents passed under other names. Which, of course, does not change their essence. A lot of cynicism (as from Western partners), with wolves live on howl like a wolf. The Wagner group also needs to organize PMCs “Beethoven” and “Mozart” or better “Glinka” and “Shostakovich”.

                  And the accusations - doesn’t the APU itself attract mercenaries (primarily Georgians)?

                  The day before, the independent consulting company Center for Political Information (CPI) published a report on the activities of private military companies (PMCs). One of the sections of the report is devoted to the role of PMCs and foreign instructors in the conflict in Ukraine.

                  According to experts of the Center, in different periods the total number of foreign military presence in the south-east of Ukraine from the pro-Kiev forces amounted to 5 thousand people.
                  Representatives of the militia spoke about the presence of foreign specialists and mercenaries from the very beginning of the conflict. For example, according to the militia headquarters, from April 22 to July 13, 2014, the total losses of foreigners in the Donbass amounted to 330 people. In particular, the Polish PMC ASBS Othago lost 139 people, the American PMC Asademi (until 2009 was known as Blackwater) - 125 people.

    Even if so, what is the problem? PMCs were originally created by Western countries precisely so that they could have an influence in various conflicts directly (almost directly), “deftly” circumventing international law (it would not be remembered by night!). Ours have adopted their experience and with the help of structures such as this PMC, protect the interests of Russia abroad of our country. If it weren’t for the conflict in the Donbass (do not think that I’m happy with him!), NATO troops would already be digging in, creating bases and participating in exercises near the current Russian-Ukrainian border.

      People need to be protected! This means that private military organizations must work with private military developers of advanced military equipment. Only in this way can people be included in that part of the operation where they will be guaranteed a field combat advantage. Wall-to-wall times must be a thing of the past. To do this, you need to understand that the use of aviation or armored vehicles is not always possible for various types of operations, which means that you need to have tactical weapons of such scale and various devices that correspond to the tasks of the operation itself and its scale. In general, you need to think about how to win without loss. It seems that everyone understands this, but practically nothing is being done. For some reason, an example is always taken from other countries and their armies. It would be worth the insurance indemnity for the death of a fighter of several million "green" then they would start thinking about their lives.

      Well, how small you are. Everyone who, at the invitation of the official government of Syria, is within the law, regardless of who is dressed in what and calls himself. Those without permission, those militants, bandits, aggressors, etc.

      private mercenaries, without the flag of the country and without stripes - does this mean militants?
      I can understand the Ukrainians who do not understand what a contract for a certain job is. wassat But then you are a person living in a capitalist country with developed private property, you must understand the difference between a militant and a wage worker. War is work! Heavy, dirty, dangerous. hi

    there is nothing secret, but from the fact that they are poked like meat into all holes - that's right. But people go there - they know that this is not free bread. Not from a good life they go there.


    It is hard to agree with you. At the hospital, they quietly, silently handed the order and wrote off to retirement. But still in critical moments I feel the finger on the trigger. And he would go again, not for money, not for any other reward, only his health no longer allows. Please do not equal on my own.

    So Wagner PMCs are militants, and PMCs are the United States Greystone, Academia, Poland PMC ASBS Othado, PMC England Halo Trust doves of peace? wassat The number, names and surnames, losses, and successful and unsuccessful operations of western PMCs are known, I emphasize! Working!, And not fighting in Ukraine. That is the whole essence of PMCs - they are hired workers who are not military personnel of the state. So, that can not show anything PMC "Wagner" Ukraine. hi

      I will allow you to correct that PMCs are a modern and effective form of using military combat units. I will not describe all the complex advantages of this form.

    From the speech of the next prophet Kukuev, it turns out that the Donbass was not “occupied” by the Russian Army, but by some commercial private enterprise, numbering about one and a half thousand people? And then these one and a half thousand drove the crowds of the Ukrainian Wehrmacht and Ukrainian Waffen SS from Illovaysk to Debaltseve? Moreover, the well-known PMCs really "worked" on the ukakain side! But where does Russia then become an aggressor? We started talking already!

    The data on the PMC losses caused by this tusk are too much ..... With such losses this would not be a company, but a start-up cooperative ... PMCs are not infantry in the trenches!

    [quote] [/ quote] On December 28, 2016, amendments to Russian legislation were adopted, which are allowed to involve non-military personnel in military tasks related to the suppression of terrorist activities outside of Russia. Moreover, such persons are considered to be those who perform the duties of military service ... thus, from December 28.12.2016, XNUMX, we consider members of the Wagner private military campaign as military personnel of the armed forces of the Russian Federation
    - explained the head of the SBU.
    Directly admitted to terrorist activities!

    The activities of PMCs in Syria cannot be widely covered in the media, otherwise the SBU, as a monkey with glasses, will try on this activity for itself.
