The role of Russian PMCs in armed conflicts
Read the latest book “Donbas in Flames. Guide to the Conflict Zone” published by Prometheus Center. This guide will be useful to journalists, researchers, war experts, diplomats and general readers seeking information on the war in Donbas.
Up until recently private military companies (PMCs) had been considered as non-government contractors providing professional security and bodyguard services. Their tasks were predominantly limited to guarding production facilities, escorting valuable cargoes or protecting VIPs against violent attacks. Yet, over the last few years Russia has brought this craft to a new level, demonstrating that PMCs can carry out offensive missions and even build a backbone of an occupation army. While it is clearly prohibited by a number of international laws, the world community has not been able to produce a meaningful response to this new threat.
