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.
The shadowy group - which has been linked to a string of killings, rapes and war crimes around the world - is known as Putin's private army which carries out his dirty work at an arm's length from the state, while giving him plausible deniability.

LOL, DailyMail.
—> There are no Nazis in Ukraine. Period.
Hmmmmm🧐
“It’s curious to me that some think “there are neonazis in Ukraine!” Is their ace in the hole against any and all opposition to the Russian invasion.”
Well, when that’s the only argument that you have, you are just going to keep repeating it over and over, no matter how dumb it sounds.
Putin is the one whose stated objective is to ‘wipe Ukraine off the map’. This is also the typical objective of Russian allies such as Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Saddam Hussein, etc. Fascists always wage war to “eliminate” people.
And you can’t tell your fighter without a scorecard as there are fights on both sides with separate definitions.

Well you can tell who is who by their patches, radio and phone intercepts, and POW interviews.
Also there is lots of info one Russian force make up, operations, and missions of the myriad of RGF, Naval and VKF regiments, units, BTGs, Battalions, and National Guard Separate entities available.
Of course it is impossible to tell much specific from TV or most written newspaper articles.
That’s most of the US, especially women.
For every one killed, I’d generally expect some more to have been injured.
There was a pretty substantial cull among elite Russian units during the initial phases of the war, and they will be cutting deeper this time around.
I’d expect to see combat effectiveness declines begin to manifest.
The Ukrainians will experience that too, but they seem to have a deeper bench with a bit more of a graceful decline in skill levels among their replacements, having activated a Reserve Force that had Military service over the last several years, and having a more developed NCO Corps. The Russians seem to have a very sharp drop off in skill between their front line contract soldiers, and the kind of individual replacements that they are mustering.
Skilled and motivated personnel are the Achilles heel of the Russian forces.
Yes, none of the pro-Russia posters around here has ever answered me when I have asked them: “Why, if Putin cares about Nazis so much, has he not ‘de-nazified’ his own armed forces?”
I just get silence in response to that question.
This whole war is a canard created by the Biden drive botched foreign policy turned wag the dog. Watch me bait a bunch of republican Neo cons and TV talking heads to push my narrative.
Joe Biden conned the republicans into support for this fake military operation...he baited ‘Russia to make a small incursion knowing full well they’d go all the way to the Azov sea.
This whole thing could have been prevented but it was planned by our deep state to hang on to power in Washington.
Neo Nazi working for a Jew? Are you really this stupid?
