Nightwolves MC (“Les Loups de la nuit”) est un club de motards nationaliste fondé à Moscou en 1989 et dirigé par Alexander Zaldastanov, qui compte approximativement 45 sections dans le monde entier, y compris dans plusieurs États membres de l’Union européenne. Nightwolves MC a participé activement à la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine en soutenant publiquement l’annexion de la Crimée en 2014 et la guerre contre l’Ukraine en 2022, en diffusant activement de la propagande anti- ukrainienne et pro-russe et en combattant avec des groupes pro-russes en Ukraine, ou en les soutenant, à la suite de l’annexion de la Crimée et de la guerre menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine en 2022. Le groupe est lié à “Wolf Holding Security Structures”, une entreprise qui exploite des camps d’entraînement d’“autodéfense” à Sébastopol, en dispensant une formation militaire. Le groupe est un fervent défenseur du gouvernement russe, soutenant activement la propagande de l’État russe dans le pays, ainsi qu’en Europe et dans les Balkans occidentaux, niant publiquement le droit de l’Ukraine au statut d’État, et appelant à la “dénazification” ainsi qu’à la “dé-ukrainisation” du pays, promouvant l’idée selon laquelle l’Ukraine devrait faire partie intégrante de la Russie. Le groupe entretient également des liens étroits avec le président de la Fédération de Russie Vladimir Poutine et le gouvernement russe, et a reçu des fonds publics du Kremlin entre 2013 et 2015. Le groupe a montré à plusieurs reprises son soutien à l’opération militaire, notamment en envoyant certains de ses membres à l’armée en tant que volontaires. Le Nightwolves MC est donc une entité ou un organisme apportant un soutien matériel à des actions qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine. En outre, il s’agit d’une entité qui est responsable d’actions ou de politiques qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine ainsi que la stabilité et la sécurité en Ukraine, ou qui soutient et met en œuvre de telles actions ou politiques.
