Wagner should be labelled terrorist group, France tells EU

Report says UK will also blacklist as terrorists the mercenaries who have led months-long assault on Bakhmut, Ukraine

The French parliament has called on the EU to formally label the Russian mercenary group Wagner as terrorists, as the UK reportedly prepares to do the same.

France's parliament unanimously passed a non-binding resolution aimed at encouraging the 27 members of the EU to put Wagner on its official list of terrorist organisations.
