Putin’s ruthless warlord sends EU a SLEDGEHAMMER covered in blood after Russia declared ‘a terrorist state’

A SICK and twisted message has been sent to the European Parliament from one of Putin’s most notorious warlords in response to being linked with terrorism. On Wednesday, the EU officially called Russia a “state sponsor” of terrorism over its actions in Ukraine but the move was denounced by Wagner owner Yevgeny Prigozhin who sent them a violin case, with a chilling item inside.

The stunt was believed to be a sick warning that follows the atrocity that happened earlier this month when a citizen of Russia was brutally executed with a sledgehammer. The man killed was Yevgeny Nuzhin, 55, who was believed to have defected to Ukraine but was reportedly kidnapped and sent back to the merciless Wagner group in Russia. It is there that the Wagner thugs filmed the man’s head taped to a brick wall and subsequently smashed in with a sledgehammer.

He said: “Today I held a meeting of the commanders of the “Wagner” PMC and told them this sad news.” “I don’t know what law governs the European Parliament, but according to our legislation, from today we declare the European Parliament dissolved.

While it is unclear what effect the EU lawmakers’ ruling will take, they are believed to be in line with pleas from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to DW news, the designation is a largely symbolic condemnation of Putin’s war in Ukraine and beyond. The US government has so far resisted the label for Russia, citing potential unintended consequences under its legal system.  Most read in News ‘JIHADI’ TEEN Teen arrested for jihadi terrorism offences after cops swoop on property CLINGING TO LIFE ‘Critically ill’ Putin’s hand turns PURPLE as he’s seen clutching chair KING COCKY Inside dangerous world of gangster & list of things he has to do to stay free 'WORKED TO DEATH' Courier ‘killed by Black Friday’ after being found slumped at van's wheel BAD TASTE Mum slams Winter Wonderland after being charged almost £50 for two bags of sweets MURKY WATERS Inside shocking dolphin abuse scandal which saw famous trainer kill himself In a press release, a European Parliament spokesperson condemned Russia’s past actions. “The deliberate attacks and atrocities committed by Russian forces and their proxies against civilians in Ukraine, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and other serious violations of international and humanitarian law amount to acts of terror and constitute war crimes.” The Wagner group has been heavily involved in the war in Ukraine, and it is believed the group of mercenaries have been operating since Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. The Pro-Kremlin group are believed to have about 5000 mercenaries operating across the world, according to the BBC. In September, videos emerged of Prigozhin recruiting murderers and sex offenders from some of Russia’s most notorious prison camps to fight in the war. The group have shown they have no limits when it comes to killing people – last month they executed notorious mobster Zaur Aliyev after he tried to desert in Ukraine.
