<p>It is clear that the Wagner Group and other similar organisations do not provide
enduring security. Her Majesty's Government (HMG) will continue to attribute and expose
where Wagner or other organisations undermine security and commit human rights abuses.</p><p>In
December 2021, the UK issued a statement with 15 international partners to firmly
condemn the deployment of the Wagner Group in Mali, which we believe can only further
deteriorate the security environment.</p><p>In 2020, HMG placed an asset freeze and
travel ban on an individual closely associated with Wagner Group, Yevgeniy Viktorovich
Prigozhin, following his support to the Group's activities in Libya, where they were
involved in multiple and repeated breaches of the arms embargo in Libya established
in UNSCR 1970.</p>
