Wagner Group is a Russian paramilitary organisation, first deployed in the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and now a private extension of the Russian army in Ukraine with close ties to Putin.
The source told the outlet how squadrons of prisoner conscripts are sent in waves over and over, leapfrogging to move the front line slightly closer to the enemy while Russian artillery continues to explode overhead.
The source said: 'Sometimes there is an order not to wait for the shelling to end - the 'Musicians' [Wagner recruits] are so disciplined that they will go anyway because they stand a fighting chance of surviving.'
MailOnline previously reported on the 'human wave' tactics of the Russian army and Wagner Group, filmed during the intense fighting for Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine at the end of last year.
Russian attacks have become increasingly desperate in recent months as Putin looks to secure a big win after months in deadlock.
Nihilistic pushes, reminiscent of Britain's WWI experience of the Somme, result in huge casualties for both Ukraine and the invading Russians, who have increasingly buffered the invasion forces with a shield of former convicts.
The insider source, likely from within Wagner Group, told Russian Criminal that groups of eight advance in waves.

Are their charges accompanied with the blast of an alpenhorn?
Wish we could do that with our convicts.
Russia is a gulag nation.
Daily Mail is always good for a laugh!
this one is hilarious.
Did they forget to include the part about climbing over each others dead bodies to storm a city? or eating dog since the Rus don’t feed them? get serious , this is bogus propaganda.

Pragmatism is but one of your endearing qualities, Ben. :-)
Life is different in the West. The Russians treat their troops as cannon fodder. Nothing new for them.
And, yet, they keep advancing, taking ground and smashing the best Ukrainian units.
Soon, Bakhmut is gonna fall. One of the most heavily defended places on earth and with it, the Ukrainian occupation of the Donbas.
to be read with “a grain of salt!” Other news from Europe and Asia reports suggest an slow but orderly Russian advance following artillery barrages. Our American media and the Brits have been not just biased, but engaged in story fabrication. They have become quite good at it.
This reads like some kind of war porn fan fiction. No real source but lots of gruesome detail. The Daily Mail has some talented propagandists.
This is nonsensical propaganda. The Wagner group are highly paid experienced mercenaries. Even the Russians won’t waste soldiers in frontal banzai style attacks. However it is virtually impossible to hide on a modern battlefield if your opponent is equipped with even now rudimentary devices that can locate and target.

FanFiction for Zeepers!
Just had a flash thought of the Russia admirers and the woman in love with the serial killer.
At least the woman knows he’s a killer. The Russophiles can’t bear to hear anything negative about their chosen paradise.
Very similar though, wanting to believe someone ruthless to the point of mass murder is desirable.
I picture them having the Wagner group over for dinner, it wouldn’t end well.
let me guess, they have 1 rifle to every 2 men and 5 rounds of ammo. a commissar stands behind them with a burp gun ready to kill anyone who doesn’t charge the ukrainian machine gun nest.
this is such blatant propaganda BS
"FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!" 🇷🇺
This may make a dent in your fantasy bubble.

Deep into your Daily Male, you will find what you are looking for.

Prison inmates are highly skilled mercenaries?
