Congressmen were reminded of already existing documents that require the US Secretary of State to recognize PMCs as a foreign terrorist organization. But, as analysts warned, this move could affect relations between the United States and Russia, as well as other countries that have resorted to the services of the organization.

“Congressmen may consider other available legislative and oversight options to further limit and counter the Wagner Group’s growing presence in the world,” the report said.

Analysts note that US parliamentarians should also discuss the feasibility of exploring strategies and tools that the US could use to “motivate” other countries to refuse to cooperate with Wagner.

Earlier, the founder of Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that the company intends to increase the number of fighters to 30,000 by May. On average, he says, the organization recruits 500-800 people a day.
