84. ANALYSIS: Christopher Faulkner on the Wagner Group - Who are they? What are their areas of operation? And what is the impact of their involvement in Ukraine?

Christopher Faulkner, Assistant Professor at the United States Naval War College, discusses the Wagner Group: who are they? how are they connected to the Russian regime? what are their areas of operation? and what is the impact of their involvement in Ukraine? 

This was a fascinating discussion that made me think about the implications of private military contractors operating in theaters of war, and of Russia's denial of association with the Wagner Group - whilst encouraging their involvement on the ground.
