THE European Union will impose sanctions on the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary company, during the Council of Foreign Ministers the day after Monday in Brussels, a European official confirmed to the German Agency.
The sanctions will be imposed on eight people, including the Wagner Group and three other entities associated with it. Including, travel bans and the freezing of any resources in the EU.
They also mean that natural and legal persons in the European Union will no longer be able to deal with the targets of sanctions.
According to the official, The sanctions will be imposed because of the Wagner Group’s actions in Syria, Libya and Ukraine and allegations of blatant human rights abuses by its people.
The measures are expected to take effect immediately, after being approved by the 27 foreign ministers on Monday.
Recently in Brussels, concerns were expressed about the possibility of Wagner developing in Mali. EU member states have threatened to end support in the African country in crisis if Bamako signs a deal with the Russian mercenary company.
The EU has deployed a training mission in Mali, a West African country whose parts have been ravaged by jihadist groups that have carried out bloody attacks for years.
