Earlier this month the Ukraine military said there had been clashes near Kyiv with members of the private military company Liga, formerly known as Wagner.
The Russian private military company the Wagner Group is operating in eastern Ukraine, with its mercenaries being diverted away from operations elsewhere to help support the Russian army, according to the latest Ministry of Defence intelligence update.
It said Russia was expected to deploy more than a thousand mercenaries, including senior leaders of the organisation, to undertake combat operations. In its regular update the MoD said:"Due to heavy losses and a largely stalled invasion, Russia has highly likely been forced to reprioritise Wagner personnel for the Ukraine at the expense of operations in Africa and Syria."Find out more about the UK government's response:
