That source leaves out the key detail that the Wagner group are NeoNazis.
In fact it also leaves out a lot of the more extreme, blatant red flags Wagner members have been saying that make it clear when they say the Kremlin is compromised by a “clan of oligarchs” they mean Jews and “degenerates.” ABC is just posting the more sanitized comments that anti-Putin western audiences would agree with, which is pretty upsetting because again these are literal NeoNazis and no one should be supporting them.
The Wagner group were not helpless soldiers following orders in a war they didn’t believe in, they were the group doing some of the worst atrocities who are only mad now because they’re losing.
Begging people not to fall for the trap of “hating Putin” meaning someone is good. A fascist imperialist is suffering military defeats which makes him look weak, so his Nazi death squad is trying to seize power. This is a “bite each other’s dicks off” situation where we want both sides to lose. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to the Wagner group.
