Mrs Braverman said the "violent and destructive" organisation were "terrorists, plain and simple". Britain is amping up the pressure on Vladimir Putin by stamping out support for Wagner, who have been his stars on the battlefield. But the future of the group remains unclear after its leader Prigozhin and his top advisors died in a fireball plane crash a few weeks ago. The Home Secretary said: "Wagner is a violent and destructive organisation which has acted as a military tool of Vladimir Putin's Russia overseas. "While Putin's regime decides what to do with the monster it created, Wagner's continuing destabilising activities only continue to serve the Kremlin's political goals. "They are terrorists, plain and simple - and this proscription order makes that clear in UK law . "Wagner has been involved in looting, torture and barbarous murders," the top Tory continued. "Its operations in Ukraine , the Middle East and Africa are a threat to global security. "That is why we are proscribing this terrorist organisation and continuing to aid Ukraine wherever we can in its fight against Russia ." A draft proscription order to ban the Wagner Group under the Terrorism Act 2000 will be put forward in Parliament on Wednesday. O){kind=link}
