Piotr Kucharski, 49, from The Glebe, Watford, wore combat clothing and badges with insignia of the Russian mercenary group to the historical event in Stonham Aspal, Suffolk.

The organisation was founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the mercenary leader who headed the Wagner Group until he launched a rebellion against Moscow and died in a plane crash.

Russia is reportedly paying them $2,000 a month for their mercenary services—a princely sum for North Koreans—but these salaries will likely be confiscated by the Pyongyang government.

When the Wagner mercenary group first recruited prison inmates, its late leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, targeted convicts in high-security jails, saying he needed their “criminal talents” in return for pardons.
