A leftist lawmaker has drafted a bill that would allow private military and security companies to operate inside Russia and beyond its borders.

MP Gennadiy Nosovko of the center-left party Fair Russia told reporters the bill has been prepared on the basis of foreign experience. He said the operation of private military and security companies across the globe has been very successful. “Not only are they making very serious money, billions of dollars, but they actively show up on the geopolitical level. They have been spotted in the Middle East, and now we can see their presence in Ukraine,” the RIA-Novosti news agency quoted him as saying.
