moscow, The establishment of a private military company by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian businessman and considered close to Putin, has surprised everyone. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, Prigozhin said that he had founded the Wagner Group private military company in 2014, whose mercenaries have participated in many wars by taking money. According to the report, apart from the country, the fighters of the Wagner group have fought in other countries including Libya, Syria, Central African Republic and Mali.
This was revealed by the press service of Prigozhin’s Concorde catering firm in response to a question from a Russian news site discussing his connection with the Wagner Group on the social network VKontakte. Prigozhin further said that he himself cleaned the old weapons, repaired the bulletproof vest himself and met with experts who could help him. He told that after that on May 1, 2014, a group of patriots was born, which later came to be known as Wagner Battalion. At the same time, Prigozhin’s Concorde Catering firm has also confirmed the truth of the statement to Reuters.
Prigozhin is close to Putin
Prigozhin is also known as Putin’s chef because of his company’s catering contracts with the government. Prigozhin is subject to several sanctions by the United States and the European Union for his closeness to Putin and his role in Wagner. Along with this, America has also accused Prigozhin that with the help of a troll army, he tried to influence the American elections. Wagner has also been accused of aiding pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s eastern Donbass region.
What are masonry
Masonry is an army of such people who participate in war for money. Such soldiers fight for any army or country and charge a hefty amount as fees. According to the Geneva Conventions, mercenaries or masons are not recognized as legitimate combatants like ordinary soldiers and are not required to provide the same legal protection as occupied service personnel of the armed forces. Many countries of the world have made very strict laws for mercenaries which prevent their citizens from becoming Masonry.
What is Wagner Group
The Wagner Group is a Russian paramilitary organization often seen as a network of mercenaries, or a de facto private army of Russian President Vladimir Putin. US military officials describe the Wagner Group as a dreaded military organization that is supporting Russian forces in Ukraine. According to a Times report, more than 400 mercenaries from Russia’s Wagner Group were also sent to Kyiv to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. At the same time, American officials say that they have also seen some signs of Wagner’s involvement in the war. Although these claims have not been confirmed till date, but from time to time America keeps telling about Wagner Group being active in Ukraine.
how much do you get salary
The countries or organizations that hire Masonry also have to pay a heavy price. According to a Times report, one such fighter was offered US $ 2000 per day to fight in the Ukraine war. Talking in Indian currency, such fighters were being given one lakh 63 thousand rupees a day. At the same time, according to several media reports, a Masonry Commander is given up to 5 lakh dollars for less than a month’s service, which in Indian currency becomes more than four crores. However, the amount of money given by the Wagner Group to its Masonry is still a matter of investigation.
