ALBAWABA - In a recent development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a decree mandating that members of non-regular armed groups take an oath, akin to the commitment taken by soldiers in the army.
This move comes amid a swirl of speculation surrounding the recent plane crash that claimed the life of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group.
