On multiple occasions, mercenaries from the Wagner Group have been found guilty of human rights violation. Several reports from independent experts associated with the United Nations shade light on those crimes.
For that reason, the Wagner Group is trying to undermine the authority of UN peacekeeping missions. It achieves this through disinformation campaigns aiming at tarnishing the image of peacekeepers in countries such as CAR.
