The mercenary Wagner Group is reportedly seeking to recruit students to fight in Ukraine, while Russia’s military is sending female convicts to the front.
Members of the Wagner mercenary group have reportedly visited schools in Moscow as part of a recruitment drive.Russia’s private army is seeking to replenish its ranks after suffering heavy losses during months of fierce fighting in Bakhmut.Wagner had recruited reportedly up to 40,000 convicts from Russia’s prisons, with Prigozhin offering them a pardon if they survived six months on the battlefields of Ukraine.
The British intelligence community said Monday that “about half of the prisoners Wagner has already deployed in Ukraine have likely become casualties and the new initiatives are unlikely to make up for the loss of the convict recruit pipeline.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces had suffered more than 1,100 dead in the past few days fighting in and around Bakhmut.
