The celebrity called “Wagner” “a virus that needs to be destroyed.”
Hollywood actor George Clooney devoted a separate column to the terrorist group “Wagner“headed by a Russian oligarch Evgeny Prigogine.
Writing for The Economist, Clooney, who also co-founded The Sentry, which fights sponsors of armed conflict in Africa, urged destroy the Wagner.
Clooney noted that the PMC was one of the most successful foreign policy initiatives of Russia, which, using violent methods, influenced less developed countries, in particular, in the Central African Republic. The actor noted that Wagner seized power there by entering into an agreement with the local leadership – they promised her safety in exchange for permission to mine minerals.
Clooney also told in detail how the terrorists from PMC “Wagner” were taught to torture people. Thus, they “left no trace” and removed witnesses, including women and children:
“The Sentry staff interviewed soldiers and militias subordinate to Wagner – they said that they were taught to torture: cut off their arms and legs, pull out nails, strangle and burn people alive. This strategy, used in various forms in Libya, Mali, Sudan and other countries, is in the interests of Russia in several directions. A relatively small number of mercenaries allows cheap expansion of the country’s influence, and the Russian government can deny its involvement, ” Clooney said.
The actor called on Western countries to unite to eliminate Wagner and called PMCs “a virus that needs to be destroyed.” George Clooney stressed that the EU and the US must hold the terrorist group financially and legally accountable:
“They should form a dedicated coalition to dismantle the group’s business empire. Sanctions should be imposed on supporters of Wagner, including lawyers and financiers. The international community should give priority to prosecuting those who bear the greatest responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity. There are many unfulfilled promises regarding those who benefit from the Wagner robberies: from companies that own mines to middlemen in neighboring states, the Gulf countries and Russia,” he said. George Clooney.
Recall that George Clooney, along with his wife, lawyer Amal Clooney, actively support Ukraine, and are also investigating Russian crimes in our country. Also, spouses do not hide the truth about the situation in the world from their children. In turn, the 5-year-old son of celebrities drew an eloquent drawing, dedicated to the Russian dictator Putin.
