A Russian teenage gang, influenced by the Phantom Troupe from Hunter x Hunter, is causing havoc in Ukraine.
According to CNN, a gang called Redan PMC, named after Hunter x Hunter’s Phantom Troupe, has been involved in street brawls in Ukraine. The gang members wear clothes with the group’s symbol, a spider with the number 4. Sightings of the gang have been reported in Lviv, Kharkiv, and Kyiv, with the alleged 16-year-old leader being detained in Dnipro.
Initially based in Moscow, Redan PMC was known for brawling with football fans. However, they have expanded their fights to different locations in Moscow, resulting in over 350 arrests by the local police. Weapons such as gas cartridges and knives have been confiscated from the group.
The migration of Redan PMC to Ukraine has led authorities to believe that Russia deliberately aimed to influence Ukrainian youth and exacerbate the country’s existing issues. Allegations of a disinformation campaign targeting Ukrainian teenagers have surfaced, with blocked Telegram channels attempting to involve minors in illegal activities.
Over 700 individuals, mostly minors, have been apprehended by the police due to their alleged connections with Redan PMC. The authorities suspect that the Russian security force, FSB, played a direct role in manipulating and deceiving Ukrainian teens.
The alleged 16-year-old leader captured in Dnipro claimed that he created the gang for financial gain through advertising on social media, but acknowledged that the idea originated from Russia with the intention of destabilization. A 15-year-old girl involved in the gang described Redan as Russian propaganda and denied its presence in Kyiv.
