This initiative stems from concerns that these combatants, including former prisoners and individuals with histories of violence, will be weaponized by Russia for malicious purposes against European societies.

Newly released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s activities suggest the involvement of other men in his sex abuse, raising questions about official claims of insufficient evidence to investigate third parties. Allegations within these documents indicate Epstein provided victims to other men, with specific accounts detailing instances involving Harvey Weinstein and Leon Black. Despite these revelations and prior disclosures pointing to potential criminal involvement by others, the extent of official investigations into these third parties remains unclear, with some individuals like Weinstein and Black never having been criminally charged in relation to Epstein. Victim advocates maintain that Epstein was undeniably part of a sex-trafficking operation that supplied young women and girls to wealthy and powerful individuals, a practice that granted him leverage.
