Ukrainian National Police Target Wagner and Redut PMC Militants in ‘Avengers-2’
Law enforcement officers have exposed 654 militants of the Wagner and Redut PMCs (private military companies) within the framework of the international special operation “Avengers-2,” the National Police of Ukraine has said.
This operation, which is part of a broader effort to counter the influence of private military companies, has led to over 70 searches across Ukraine. The National Police have not disclosed details about the specific locations or the nature of the searches, but they have confirmed that the PMCs were involved in activities that fall under the purview of the international special operation.
The exposure of such a large number of militants suggests that the National Police have gained significant intelligence regarding the operations of these PMCs. These companies, often linked to Russian interests, have been a subject of international concern due to their alleged involvement in various conflicts and the potential for their activities to destabilize regions.
While the operation is part of a larger international effort, the National Police of Ukraine have emphasized that they are working closely with allied forces to ensure the effectiveness of the operation. The details of the operation are still under investigation, and the police have not provided further information on the outcomes or the specific actions taken against the militants.
The National Police have reiterated their commitment to maintaining national security and combating illegal armed activities. This operation is seen as a significant step in the ongoing efforts to counter the activities of private military companies within Ukrainian territory.
