An intelligence source has claimed that Igor Nesterov, a member of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, was killed in Mali. Nesterov, who trained a Russian boxing champion and fought in Ukraine, has been designated as a war criminal by the source.
The Wagner Group, known for its involvement in the Ukraine conflict, has faced international condemnation for its role in the war. Nesterov’s death in Mali adds to the growing list of Wagner mercenaries who have been killed in foreign conflicts, raising questions about the group’s operations and the risks faced by its members.
While the details of Nesterov’s death remain unclear, the intelligence source’s allegations highlight the complex web of global conflicts in which Russia’s mercenary group is entangled. This incident also underscores the dangers posed by such groups in international affairs.
