Russia uses Wagner mercenaries to protect its "Shadow Fleet" - Break The Fake - TVP WORLD
Russia has reportedly begun recruiting former members of the Wagner Group to serve on tankers belonging to its so-called “Shadow Fleet.” Investigations have identified at least 17 Russian citizens without maritime qualifications operating aboard ships in the Gulf of Finland. Many of them have connections to the Wagner Group or to the Russian military intelligence agency, GRU. In the new episode of Break The Fake, Benjamin Lee tells you more about how Russia's “Shadow Fleet” scheme works and why it increases security risks for Europe and NATO.
