They will beat further: a bullet has been put on the issue of legalizing PMCs
Yesterday, March 27, the Russian government gave a negative review of the draft law on the legalization of private military companies (PMCs). Previously, he was not supported by the Ministry of Defense, Justice, Foreign Affairs, Finance, the Prosecutor General's Office, the FSB, the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Federal Security Service. Thus, the bill introduced by deputies from Just Russia, Sergei Mironov and Mikhail Emelyanov, put a bullet.
The government in its conclusion noted that the bill contradicts the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which prohibits the creation of such formations and considers issues of war and peace, external policies and international relations to the jurisdiction of Russia.
Sofa theorists who closely followed the ups and downs of the military operations in Syria with the participation of the so-called PMC Wagner did not understand: how so, why? Some began to accuse the Russian authorities of betraying people who, at the cost of their lives, protect the interests of Russia outside its borders. In the bill, we note, it was proposed to allow such organizations to work abroad under a license. The Ministry of Defense was supposed to issue licenses, and control over the activities of PMCs was also charged to him.
State Duma deputy Mikhail Emelyanov in an interview with Kommersant claimed that PMCs should be introduced into the legal field precisely because of the situation in Syria. In addition, they are supposedly needed to protect Russian specialists working at construction sites in hot spots.
In order for PMCs not to fall into the category of mercenaries, the authors of the project proposed to prohibit certain types of activities: carry out subversive work, store weapons of mass destruction, and stay in the country without the official consent of the legitimate government.
Proponents of the legalization of PMCs said that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in early March spoke of the need to develop a law that would protect the rights of Russian PMC employees abroad. They also talked about American and British private military units that legally service combat complexes and train military personnel outside their countries. Moreover, this topic, they say, was discussed in 2012 with Vladimir Putin, who also approved the idea of developing a law on PMCs. And here you are: the friendly rejection of all official structures.
Meanwhile, other experts believe that the law proposed by the "spravorossy" did not solve the problems of the functioning of Russian private military organizations. In their opinion, it is rather a law on commercial activities. If you accept it, then the same PMC Wagner will cease to be in the format in which it operates now, claimed the correspondent of Fontanka Denis Korotkov. For it will not be able to conduct active hostilities due to the numerous restrictions proposed by the bill.
