Stop Wagner

Humanitarian workers. Witnesses of Wagner's crimes on the African continent. Raising awareness on PMC violence in Ukraine, Africa and the Middle East.
🇷🇺 #Russia is now selling physical gold from its Central Bank reserves, about 2 330 tonnes, no longer relying solely on its wealth fund, whose gold fell 57% in three years (405→173 t). These sales of #Wagner 's gold ease short-term budget pressure but speed up long-term reserve depletion.

🇫🇮 #Finland has sent back the ex-Wagner fighter who crossed the border in June claiming he fled the war. His #Wagner past, photos, boasts, videos, was easy to trace. Flagged as a security risk, his asylum bid was fast-tracked for removal. Now he’s back in Russia as probes continue.

5/5 All traces vanish from Vyaliy666’s Telegram. He’s forced to erase posts exposing #Wagner fighters. On Nov 20, Wagner claims he "admitted" the charges and deleted everything, warning critics of "offline consequences" thanks to access to their data, a classic PMC intimidation.
November 27, 2025 at 9:56 AM
4/5 Vyaliy666 soon drew his #Wagner colleagues’ wrath and Telegram administrators' attention. On Nov 15 he faced heavy pressure and threats. A coordinated attack then hit channel non-subscribers, hacking phones/Telegram. Some succeeded, stealing chats with fighters.
November 27, 2025 at 9:53 AM
3/5 Vyaliy666 also exposed another alleged paedophile in #Wagner : Commander Shstrom Yusup Mamatov ("Bagdad"), a Dagestani said to be undercover in Baghdad. This one allegedly claimed that sex with 13–14-year-olds was "not only possible but necessary".
November 27, 2025 at 9:50 AM
2/5 Lying about his age, he jumps straight to obscenities. Vyaliy666 immediately posts the screenshots on #Telegram, first on their account, then in the channel dedicated to the general registry of paedophiles "Всеобщий реестр педофилов переходник".

🧵 1/5 Omerta on a paedophilia scandal within #Wagner

In Oct 2025, a Wagner supporter, posing as a 14-year-old girl under the pseudo Vyaliy666 on Odnoklassniki, engaged a Wagner fighter using the alias "ЕВГЕНИЙ НЕТ", after noticing his comments on minors’ photos.

4/4 Wagner has operated in #Venezuela since 2019, guarding Maduro, mining, training troops & quelling protests. Now Moscow seeks to secure oil access & expand its reach. Some speculate Wagner could even evacuate Maduro if the U.S. intervenes. #Russia ’s footprint keeps deepening.
November 6, 2025 at 12:24 PM
3/4 Unclear what else was onboard, but Russian "advisors" may have landed too. MP Alexei Zhuravlyov said #Russia sees "no obstacle" to sending Kalibr missiles or Oreshnik ICBMs to #Venezuela. Moscow’s goal : bolster Caracas militarily & counter perceived U.S. influence.
November 6, 2025 at 12:23 PM
2/4 The IL-76 (RA-78765) belongs to Aviacon Zitotrans, a firm under U.S. sanctions & linked to #Wagner. Known for hauling arms to Africa/LatAm, it likely delivered Pantsir-S1 or Buk-M2E parts to #Caracas. The Africa detour aimed to dodge Western tracking, typical covert ops tactic.
November 6, 2025 at 12:22 PM
🧵1/4 Suspicious Russian flight & #Wagner presence in #Venezuela 🇷🇺✈️

On Oct 26, a Russian IL-76 cargo plane, same type used by Wagner, landed in Caracas after a complex route via Africa. It stayed ~45h before flying to Cuba, fueling claims of Russian-Venezuelan military cooperation.

🇲🇱#Mali : A fuel convoy from Côte d’Ivoire to Bamako escorted by... the Africa Corps or Wagner? Are the #Wagner flags really just residual traces?
November 6, 2025 at 12:19 PM
4/4 #Russia & intermediaries use social media to recruit, manipulate & coerce civilians for the #Ukraine war. The "Russian women trap" is just one face of hybrid warfare, where disinformation, seduction & coercion become coordinated weapons.
November 6, 2025 at 12:15 PM
3/4 Investigations confirm it :

@dfrlab.bsky.social / Atlantic Council found fake Facebook recruiter profiles.

@kyivindependent.com listed Syrians trained near Aleppo.

@apnews.com & @hromadske.bsky.social exposed fake dating traps.

@middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social (Sep 2025) found a Jordan scheme.
November 6, 2025 at 12:14 PM
2/4 Since 2022, recruiters have used Facebook, Telegram & WhatsApp to lure Syrians, Iraqis & Africans with job or marriage offers. Once in #Russia, they’re sent to the front in #Ukraine. Poverty, lies & social media make easy prey for hybrid warfare networks.
November 6, 2025 at 12:11 PM
🧵1/4 Young Syrians Trapped by "Russian Women": Online Hybrid Propaganda.

On #Syrian social media, stories circulate of young Syrians/Iraqis lured by fake "Russian women" promising marriage & citizenship, only to be forced to fight in #Ukraine. Some reportedly died.
November 6, 2025 at 12:10 PM
3/3 #Wagner ’s reach now extends into #Europe. In Feb 2025, Moldova found 85 people tied to the group; Poland jailed two Russians for espionage. UK intel had warned since 2023 that redeployed mercenaries were transiting Europe. The EU must boost intel sharing, sanctions & vigilance.
October 28, 2025 at 1:32 PM
2/3 Recruited via social media, these Russia-backed agents planned further attacks, including the kidnapping of dissident Evgeny Chichvarkin in London. Beyond targeting Ukraine’s aid, #Wagner pursues plots against #Russia ’s "enemies" in Europe : arson, espionage, abductions, more.
October 28, 2025 at 1:31 PM
🧵1/3 The London Case : Wagner’s Shadow Over #Europe

A UK court sentenced six men for an arson attack allegedly ordered by #Wagner against a London warehouse supplying aid to #Ukraine. Sentences range from 8–23 years. Proof that Wagner’s hybrid warfare now reaches deep into Europe.
October 28, 2025 at 1:23 PM
3/3 Local officials are powerless as abuses continue and suffering is hidden. #Birao, a remote NE border town cut off by armed groups and unsafe roads, is under tight info control, a perfect hunting ground for #Wagner mercenaries acting with total impunity.
October 24, 2025 at 7:12 AM
2/3 The video hides #Wagner’s growing abuses. Before reaching #Birao, mercenaries extort truck tolls. Associations now speak out : villagers killed without reason during looting, women raped, some left pregnant, as assaults and fear spread unchecked.
October 24, 2025 at 7:12 AM
🧵1/3 Birao, symbol of #Wagner impunity in #CAR.

On Sept 16 2025, Wagner mercenaries killed 4-5 Sudanese herders near Birao, sparking reprisals and mass flight toward Ndélé & Amdafock. Government calm video hides the truth : Birao shows Wagner’s rule, extortion, looting, rape, murder.
October 24, 2025 at 7:09 AM
3/3 Despite zero proof of espionage or terrorism, #CAR authorities refuse to free Joseph #Figueira. Russian disinformation fuels false claims, while his brother Georges Martin urges international actors to use every mechanism possible to secure his immediate release.
October 14, 2025 at 7:01 AM
2/3 Abducted May 26, 2024, in Zémio by #Wagner and tortured by #Russian mercenaries, Joseph Figueira has spent 500+ days in De Roux Prison. Held in solitary confinement with no charge or trial, his health is now so critical that he urgently needs medical evacuation.
October 14, 2025 at 7:00 AM
🧵 1/3 Humanitarian worker Joseph Figueira Martin, arrested by #Wagner, remains detained in #Bangui. He faces a possible life sentence despite no credible evidence. An absurd and unimaginable injustice. The European Parliament demands his "immediate and unconditional release" by #CAR authorities.
