An ex-commander with Russia’s notorious mercenary group Wagner who is currently seeking asylum in Norway described witnessing summary executions of fellow soldiers during an interview with The Moscow Times on Tuesday.  Andrei Medvedev, 26, said that he witnessed a double execution at a Wagner center where the group was training inmates recruited from Russia’s jails. “There was a case when they brought two prisoners who refused to fight and they shot them in front of others for refusing to follow orders,” Medvedev said from Norway.  “There were a lot of such cases.”  Medvedev fled to the Scandinavian country earlier this month after fighting in eastern Ukraine for four months as a member of Wagner, which is run by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former chef believed to be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.   After deserting the mercenary group in November Medvedev crossed the Norwegian border on foot, apparently narrowly escaping from Russian border guard patrols.
