Russia's losses in the Ukraine war: Wagner group has to create a new cemetery
First report from Saturday, January 28, 9:37 a.m.:
Moscow / Kiev – In the Ukraine war, the losses on both sides are piling up.
The high number of fallen soldiers is particularly remarkable for Russia, which was considered to be clearly superior at the beginning of the war.
The military leadership of Ukraine recently put this number at over 125,000.
The USA also spoke of more than 100,000 dead Russian troops as early as November 2022.
Now there are reports that the Wagner Group in particular, which is fighting for Russia in Ukraine, has recently suffered heavy losses.
Meanwhile, its founder is engaged in a domestic power struggle.
Losses for Russia in the Ukraine War: Wagner Group pays high price for conquests
The Wagner Group from Russia, known for human rights violations, recently drew attention to itself in the fight for Bachmut.
The military company claimed, among other things, the conquest of the nearby town of Soledar.
But the successes obviously come at a high price.
Research by the
Reuters
news agency shows that there has been a massive increase in the number of graves in a Wagner Group cemetery in just a few months.
Since November 2022, the number of buried mercenaries has increased sevenfold and is now 200. According to the
New York Times
, there is another Wagner burial site nearby with almost 900 burial chambers.
Further cemetery areas are already to be laid out.
Russia's losses: Wagner founder argues about omissions in the Ukraine war
While the Wagner Group is recording high losses in Ukraine, its founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, is attracting attention in Russia with domestic disputes.
Recently there have been some indications of a power struggle between Prigozhin and Putin.
Now, however, the Wagner founder took on Igor Girkin, a former military leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.
Both men have criticized Putin's actions in the Ukraine war in the past.
Now they accused each other of military omissions, as
reported in a recent report by the US
Institute for the Study of War .
The argument went so far that Prigozhin sarcastically offered his counterpart to fight with the Wagner group himself.
When Girkin surprisingly accepted the offer, Prigozhin replied that he would not be effective at the front anyway.
