UK to Designate Wagner Group as Terrorist Organization
- The UK government plans to designate the Russian mercenary group Wagner as a terrorist organization.
- The designation will allow authorities to seize Wagner's assets and make membership in the group a criminal offense.
- Wagner has been involved in human rights abuses and poses a threat to global security according to the UK.
- The move follows recommendations by UK lawmakers to impose tougher measures against Wagner.
- Wagner's leader Prigozhin was killed in a plane crash in August, leaving the group's future uncertain.
