Wagner Group's Actions Threaten Putin's Regime.

The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, displayed what he claimed to be the body and identification documents of a former US Army Green Beret, Nick Maimer, who he said was killed fighting on the side of Ukraine in Bakhmut. Maimer had spent the past year in Ukraine training civilian volunteers. Bakhmut has seen some of the bloodiest battles of the conflict, with Wagner mercenaries spearheading the months-long campaign to capture the strategically important city in eastern Ukraine. Maimer is at least the tenth US citizen to have died in Ukraine since the start of the war.
