Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Wagner group does not exist de facto, discussions on the topic of their actions are not based on anything, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

I seem to recall that Wagner PMC been absorbed by the Russian army.

“We have already said that de facto such a group does not exist,” Peskov said, commenting on a Wall Street Journal article that reported that the Syria-based Wagner Group could transfer anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) to Hezbollah.

Did the Russian army then transfer the equipment as described?

As Regnum reported, the situation in the Middle East has worsened since October 7 after massive attacks by the Palestinian Hamas movement on Israeli territory. In response, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began military operations in the Gaza Strip. On the evening of October 27, Gaza was attacked simultaneously by land, sea and air.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised on October 31 that if Hezbollah intervenes in the conflict, it will receive an unprecedented blow. Prior to this, on October 29, Hezbollah announced that it had repelled an Israeli Air Force drone attack on the Al-Khiyam area in southern Lebanon.

Senior lecturer at the HSE School of Oriental Studies Andrei Zeltyn , in an interview with Regnum news agency , said that Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip do not look like a full-scale military operation, but like a campaign to push militants out of the northern regions.
