Wagner Group: Putins shadow private army
Wagner Group is a private army that's been violently advancing Russian interests internationally \u2013 but in the shadows \u2013 for years. \n\nNow as Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has stalled, the fighters-for-hire have taken centre stage to fight on Russia\u2019s side. The mercenaries have been involved in some of the bloodiest battles of the entire war.\n\nMary Ilyushina is a reporter covering Russia for the Washington Post. Today on Front Burner, she joins guest host Jodie Martinson to explain the evolution, and growing influence, of the Wagner Group in Russia and other parts of the world.
