But after a failed coup attempt by its leader and former chef Yevgeny Prigozhin earlier this year \u2013 and with the bloke and several other key members being killing in a suspicious plane crash a few weeks later \u2013 many thought the group was now relegated to just fighting other terror groups in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to the biggest Telegram group associated with Wagner, called the Grey Zone, the group is now \u201ctaking over Europe\u201d. Images have been shared of patches and stickers from the group in France, Greece, and Italy around key landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Parthenon.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Horror school bus motorway crash sees &apos;50 casualties&apos; confirmed as coach overturns<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>For news on Putin panicking over Covid cases, click here.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31062953.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/1_Wagner-takes-over-Europe-as-cities-plastered-with-mysterious-signs.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>A Wagner source said: \u201cFrance, Germany, Greece, Austria, Norway, Italy (including Sicily), Estonia, etc.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cOpinions on the internet are divided, some consider this simply the pampering of travellers, while others consider it nothing more than a media move by the &apos;orchestra&apos;. but there are those analysts and news commentators from Western countries who believe that there may be something more behind the appearance of the &apos;Wagnerian&apos; signs. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31062952.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/3_Wagner-takes-over-Europe-as-cities-plastered-with-mysterious-signs.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31037946.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458\/0_JS312302016_Main.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p> UK could &apos;cease to exist&apos; at any time as Google&apos;s AI makes three chilling predictions<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/@trinitymirrordigital\/chameleon-branding\/publications\/dailystar\/img\/logo-schema-dailystar.png\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAs one of the factors, they note that a considerable part of the Wagner Group fighters are former servicemen of Russian military intelligence, who, in addition to acquired combat skills, also retained skills in organizing and conducting sabotage activities behind enemy lines from their previous service \u2013 and past service, that is, former service, as they say, does not exist. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why some note that some very limited part of the group could go to European countries to destabilize the situation in it, or, as they write in the West, to violate sovereign democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> So far, it does not appear as if any have been spotted in the UK, but if you see one then email adam.cailler@reachplc.com with a photo of it and location. <\/p>\n<p><b><i>For more incredible stories from the Daily Star, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters <\/i><\/b><b><i><u>here<\/u><\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/world-news\/russian-wagner-group-takes-over-31062882\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The merciless Russian mercenary Wagner group has taken over Europe, it claims, as stickers, patches and signs belonging to the group have started to appear in many countries.
