1/ A framed document apparently photographed in Yevgeny Prigozhin's house sets out what appears to be the Wagner Group's founding 'constitution'. It's signed by Prigozhin (who's referred to as the 'Director') and Dmitry Utkin, Wagner's founder (the 'Commander'). ⬇️ 
2/ The document, signed on 1 May 2014, commits the two to following an agreed set of rules "due to the difficult situation in Ukraine and the need to protect Donbass (the heart of Russia)". The rules in question are as follows:

1. To provide weapons;
2. Provide funding;
3. Provide guarantees for the 200s [killed] and 300s [wounded];
4. Provide permanent work;
5. Protection from the article for mercenarism (359 of the Criminal Code);
6. Resolving all issues collegially;
