The source, referring to the declassified last week, the US intelligence data said that Baiden administration was informed that the Wagnets were falsifying documents for transactions. However, it is reported that there are no signs that Wagner PEC managed to buy weapons and equipment. However, the mercenaries continue to buy mines, drones, as well as counter -battery systems through small ones. "We are watching this carefully," the source said.
According to journalists, in recent years, Wagner PEC has been seeking to expand its influence in Africa. For over a year, mercenaries have been conducting operations with the Armed Forces of Mali, fighting against the jihadist insurgent movement. According to the American official, small is not the only country to which Wagner PEC sought help. Yes, mercenaries met some "Turkish contacts" in early February 2023 to buy weapons and equipment in Turkey.
"The United States has imposed sanctions against numerous legal entities and individuals on various continents who support military operations of Wagner PEC. We will continue to identify, expose and counteract Wagner's attempts to buy military equipment for use in Ukraine," the US official told reporters.
It should be reminded that the former commander of the Russian PEC "Wagner" Andriy Medvedev, who has submitted asylum in Norway, expressed his desire to return to Russia even if it can create a danger to his life. The Chairman of the Wagner PEC Yevhen Prigogin said that the units of the regular Russian army left the position of the line of fighting north of Bakhmut in the area.
