For a long time at the front, these “Wagnerians” had only one instinct.
Two former fighters of the “Wagner” PMK spoke about the brutality of Russian commanders in relation to their own soldiers.
For CNN, the captured Rashists recalled the heavy battles for Donbas, during which the occupiers suffered large-scale losses.
“The first steps into the forest were difficult. Seven out of 10 guys died immediately. You can’t help the wounded. The Ukrainians fired heavily at us, so even if their wounds are minor, you have to go on, otherwise you will come under fire. For five days you you are working, people are dying near you, praying to God, asking for water.. You think you can lay down your arms and nothing else will happen. But no, just wave after wave. If one group fails, they immediately send another. – they send a third “, – the occupier describes the storming of Lysychansk.
He added that the wounded could not count on evacuation, because there was none.
When you’re ordered to load them, you don’t really think about who’s dead and who’s wounded. We could not retreat without an order, because if we did not follow the order, we would be killed. first assault This was reported to the command, and he was taken 50 meters away from the base. He was digging his own grave, and then he was shot,” said one of the prisoners.
For a long time, only one instinct worked on the front lines of these “Wagnerians”.
“Just to survive. I just had a desire to survive, no matter what the cost. However, the alternative of going through minefields to Ukrainian artillery was just as deadly,” the Russian said.
