The occupier was recruited in the colony where he served his sentence.

Andriy, a 20-year-old “Wagnerian” from Astrakhan, surrendered to Ukrainian soldiers when “his own” drove him out of the trenches.

The video of communication with the captured mercenary was published by the K2 54 ombre unit. The “Wagnerian” told the Ukrainian soldiers that he had fought for only 1.5 days.

According to the testimony of the occupier from the Ukrainian Communist Party, he wanted to “run away” from Ukraine, but he was overtaken by a “colleague” who was “cancelled” at the time of the escape attempt. The Russian clarified that to “cancel” in PMK “Wagner” means to shoot.

“Wagnerivets” admitted that he was treated well in Ukrainian captivity, but he knew nothing about PMC losses. Separately, the occupier told how he was captured. It turned out that he was simply kicked out of the trench.

“I was sitting in the trenches, they (the Wagnerites” – ) said: “Get out. There is no room here.” I went to another trench. Here your “bird” was already flying. And so I ran from trench to trench while it was flying. Already when I realized what I was going to do, I thought of giving up, but I didn’t know where to give up. “I stood and looked at your drone, took two steps forward, the drone flew. I didn’t expect that they would be thrown out of the trenches like this,” the “Wagnerian” recalled.

The occupier said that he was recruited in the colony where he was serving his sentence. 300,000 rubles were promised for participation in the PMC, and a separate payment for the destruction of military equipment. They promise to pay millions for the destruction of HIMARS.

PVK “Wagner” in Ukraine

Back in August, it became known that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the “Wagner” PMC, personally recruits prisoners. He traveled through the colonies and urged the Russians to go to war against Ukraine. Against the background of failures and constant losses of the Russian Federation, the aggressor country tries to compensate for the lack of manpower.

In November, already reported that thousands of prisoners disappeared from colonies in Russia amid the war in Ukraine. The number of people in Russian colonies decreased by 23,000 in the first two months of autumn this year. This is connected with the fact that prisoners are being recruited to the “Wagner” PVC.

According to the Ukrainian General Staff, separate units of the occupiers from the territory of the Chechen Republic and from the private military company “Wagner” were moved to the Donetsk region.

Taras Berezovets, an officer of the first separate special brigade named after Ivan Bohun, described the situation near Bakhmut. He noted that both “mobs” and mercenaries of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s “Wagner” PMK are operating there.

It turned out that they have very daring tactics. However, this still does not help the invaders to capture Bakhmut.
