Wagnergate

Wagnergate (firstly named "Avenue") was an operation by Ukrainian special services to entrap and detain mercenaries of Wagner Group, including those possibly involved in the downing of a Ukrainian IL-76 transport aircraft and the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. According to investigation by Bellingcat and The Insider, the operation was carried out with the covert participation of the United States and Turkish Airlines. The special operation failed in July 2020 due to the postponement of its critical phase on the orders by Andriy Yermak and the alleged leakage of information from the Office of the President of Ukraine.
