"Wagner recruits African prisoners for war in Ukraine

This was reported by The Daily Beast, citing its sources.

The British tabloid claims that the Wagner PMC frees rebels from prisons in the Central African Republic and sends them, among others, to Donbas.

They mainly recruit men who are convicted of crimes such as murder and rape.

Wagner mercenaries have been active in CAR since the government turned to Russia for security assistance with weapons and paramilitaries in 2017. They continue to influence the Central African country's security organs.
