Wagner Reveals Massive Death Toll Figures for Mercenaries Fighting in Ukraine
Kyiv Post ^ | July 20, 2023

Posted on 07/20/2023 11:58:05 AM PDT by Grzegorz 246

A Wagner mercenary fighting in Ukraine had only a 1-in-5 chance of making it through unscathed, according to the latest figures.

The unverified numbers, posted on Telegram by several Wagner-affiliated channels, claim that in all operations from the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion up until the “capture of Bakhmut” on May 20:

· Wagner had 78,000 thousand fighters in total.

· 49,000 of these were convicts.

· 22,000 were killed.

· 40,000 wounded

This leave just 16,000 that made it through the fighting without being killed or injured.

The figures appear to have been released in response to Russian Ministry of Defense claims that 33,000 Wagner fighters had signed contracts with the Kremlin in the wake of the aborted coup attempt by the group’s chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

So 62k out of 78k were wounded or killed, and they still beat the crap out of Ukraine? I suspect these numbers are complete BS.

The Wagners became neocons, obviously.

I heard a ton of Polish chicks are getting AIDS from being coal burners.
Is that true?

The fact that a private military company could defeat a State with 100+ billion in NATO arms backing, and mercenaries and undeclared special forces, it’s an interesting change from States having the monopoly on military force.

That's a good one!

We can add that to the growing list......

-Putin is dying of cancer
-Russian soldiers are laying down their weapons and fleeing the battlefield
-Ukraine destroyed 30 of the 20 missiles fired from Russia
-A Russian general a week is losing his life
-Russia is running out of missiles
-Russia is running out of soldiers
-Russia is running out of ammunition
-The fall, winter, spring, summer Uke counteroffensive will close the land bridge to Crimea in five days
-Zelensky will celebrate in Crimea in July
-Ukraine has not lost Bakhmut

Or you mean I stole their line ?

“A Russian general a week is losing his life”

So name any rus general the Ukes claimed to be killed, who is actually alive.

It is against FR rules to be pinging people who don’t want on your ping list.

About as much as the rest of your rus stuff. But you might think about testing your rus relatives.
