"Wagner is a violent and destructive organisation which has acted as a military tool of Vladimir Putin's Russia overseas," the newspaper quoted Braverman as saying.
Britain is to ban Russian mercenary outfit the Wagner Group as a terrorist organisation, media reports said on Tuesday, quoting Home Secretary Suella Braverman. The UK was set to make the Wagner Group a "proscribed" organisation under anti-terror laws, putting it on a par with Islamic State and al-Qaeda, a report in the Daily Mail said.
"Wagner is a violent and destructive organisation which has acted as a military tool of Vladimir Putin's Russia overseas," the newspaper quoted Braverman as saying.
"While Putin's regime decides what to do with the monster it created, Wagner's continuing destabilising activities only continue to serve the Kremlin's political goals."
