Popis: The importance of irregular military companies has been increasing for Russia since it began its war against Ukraine in 2014/15. These military companies act in coordination with the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Federal Security Service (FSB), the foreign intelligence service, and the presidential administration. Russia’s mercenaries practice exterminatory warfare, and operate as parallel or shadow armies, which can rarely be held accountable.
