Nearly 8,000 mercenaries from the notorious Wagner Group have been deployed by Russia in Ukraine to boost Vladimir Putin's flagging invasion, but have suffered heavy casualties, British MPs have been told.
Giving evidence to the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, Christo Grozev, executive director of the Bellingcat investigative website, said 3,000 members of the private military company (PMC) were thought to have been killed on the battlefield.

Is that like the Vaunted Republican guard that the media informed would be such a challenge to overcome in our Iraq ventures?
Wagner Group is one, but there are more terror and cleansing units within the Russian National Guard and Spetsnaz
Zelensky has imprisoned opposition leaders, shutdown or suspended all opposition parities and shutdown media outlets he doesn't care for. Nothing about Ukraine resembles a free country or democracy.
Woe to those that call good evil and evil good.
Nyuk nyuk nyuk - all those dead Russkis, and no dead Ukrainians!!
How many mercenaries does Wagner have to lose before it goes out of business?
Millions of dead Russians, and only one lightly injured Ukie tank girl, who scraped her elbow on the hatch of her command tank.

Uke nazis are puppy lovers.
Are you proud of the tactics of the neo-Nazis you’re rooting for in Ukraine?
There are no Nazis in Ukraine. Period.
30,000,000 million dead Russian troops - The only Ukraine casualties are some children killed by brutal Russian forces committing war crimes.
US forces wiped out almost 300 of these guys in Syria a couple years ago.
The Daily Mail could invent anything and these clowns will lap it all up. For a real hoot go look at the DM’s comments. Lots of Kool-aid being consumed.
There are less by the day, to be honest...

As for the cartoon being simplistic, this is not a war between angelic Russia and a neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine. It is war between Russia and Ukraine pure and simple.
