It has been reported that Yevgeny Prigozin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, admitted to the use of prisoners in his speech. Beginning in July, prisoners began to join the Wagner battle, and they were granted pardons after serving for six months, and then they could leave or continue fighting.
It is understood that since early July, the Wagner Group has begun to recruit prisoners from prisons from all over Russia to form a punishment camp to join the Ukrainian battlefield. All prisoners who volunteer to join the war in Ukrainian can receive judicial pardons as an ordinary person as long as they serve on the battlefield for 6 months.
The families of prisoners who served their sentences from the Seventh Prison of Yabulognevka in St. Petersburg and the Sixth Prison of Obhovo said: Prisoners can participate in the war as volunteers, and can also receive a high salary of 200,000 ruble per month, and they can get pardons as long as they fight for 6 months.
Recruitment officer of Wagner Group said that Ukrainian is well-trained and has many advanced weapons. Everyone must be fully prepared, and you will reconnaise and attack the enemy at the forefront. So not everyone can come back alive, the mortality rate on the battlefield is 15%, and the negative injury rate is 25%.
But if you die on the battlefield, the family will be able to receive a pension of 5 million rubles. As long as you go to Ukraine to join the war, you can go home in six months, get a large salary, and your criminal record will be erased. It is also required that deserters, alcoholism and robbery are absolutely not allowed, otherwise they will be shot. Deserters are especially not allowed. Once someone turns back on the battlefield, they will be shot. If they are ordered to move forward, they must move forward until the Ukrainians are eliminated.
At the same time, the recruiting officer of the Wagner Group said that during the battle, the punishment battalion composed of prisoners performed very well. In the battle, 42 prisoners from St. Petersburg Prison rushed into the enemy's position like lions and killed all the enemies. During the battle, only five prisoners were killed in battle and 12 were injured.
And during the battle, there were prisoners from the punishment camp who sounded their grenade when they were surrounded by Ukrainians. They will all receive amnesty, bonuses, medals and pensions. However, the Wagner Mercenary Group does not recruit experts, drivers and porters. As long as the infantry can charge the infantry on the front line.
is not just the Seventh Prison of Yabulognevka, the Sixth Prison of Obhovo, but also Fornosovo, there are IK-3 and IK-4 Prisons, and many other prisons are recruiting prisoners to participate in the Wagner Mercenary Group. According to "Verstka", recruiting personnel went to at least 17 prisons in 10 areas and recruited at least 1,000 prisoners. This is really a thief from the Great Song Dynasty period.
Some netizens said: "This is imprisonment directly turned into death penalty !" Some netizens said: "Crossing the front is probably simpler than crossing the prison guards. With some fine and soft and intelligence, you can still get a refugee identity in the EU ."
Recently, the Russian army has been using the Wagner Mercenary Group to take the lead, and the Wagner Group has even made some progress in the Bahmut Ukrainian Fortress area.
After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Wagner Group and the Chechen armed forces, two private armed forces independent of the Russian army, expanded rapidly. Wagner's mercenaries have expanded to 20,000 to 30,000, and Chechen armed forces have also expanded to more than 20,000. At the same time, the ban on their heavy weapon was lifted.
Now, the Wagner Group and the Chechen armed forces have become the largest private armed forces in Russia. Even on the battlefield, Wagner's mercenaries were the elite forces leading the battle, and the Chechen armed forces were also responsible for supervising the pro-Russian armed forces in the east of Ukraine and supervising them on-site.
For Russia, the most difficult thing is Bingyuan at present. Kiev can mobilize a million troops and fight hard. That is because he has a high fertility rate orthodox grassroots society and is not afraid of death. Putin takes over is a basic national base with aging and severe birth rate.Once a large-scale mobilization is carried out, if there are too many people dead, and the entire Russia will collectively fight against the war, who can withstand it! Therefore, we will look at armed forces such as the Wagner Group and the Chechen Armed Forces more.
