Jamestown Senior Fellow Sergey Sukhankin interviewed by CBC on Wagner activities in Africa

On June 3, Jamestown Senior Fellow Sergey Sukhankin was quoted by Canadian outlet CBC regarding Wagner’s activites in Africa and Prigozhin’s possile aims on the continent.


“Russia is using criminals, mercenaries [and] war criminals in sovereign countries in Africa, in Ukraine and other countries.”

“Sukhankin said there are limits on Wagner’s reach on the continent; it has not found footing in nations with relative wealth, stability and reputable governments. Rather, he said it makes inroads in countries that could be seen as ‘pariah states.'”
