The story of the Russian private military company (PMC) “Wagner” in Ukraine ends, as this company suffered very heavy losses at the front and can actually be considered liquidated. This opinion was expressed today, on April 26, on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel by a military expert, Major of the Reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Aleksey Getman.
“You know, at their peak there were about 45,000 of them, now there are about 5,000 left. That is, well, by and large, this private company is practically liquidated. She remained only on paper and with a small number of people. Recruit further to participate in hostilities – yes, they have limited the ability to recruit people in prisons, in depressed areas. Therefore, replenishing the stock, well, is not very successful,” Hetman said.
According to him, PMC “Wagner” is quite difficult to attract people who would just like to sign a contract with her. Other PMCs have now appeared in the Russian Federation, created by Russian governors or, for example, by Gazprom.
“Therefore, there is some kind of competition. Well, I think that the history of this company will probably end in Ukraine,” Hetman believes.
In the information space, there are more and more reports of colossal losses in the ranks of the Wagner PMC. On February 9, the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced that the recruitment of mercenaries into the group from among the prisoners had been stopped.
Earlier, military observer Denis Popovich said that the Russian military command does not take into account the losses in the war against Ukraine, since they have prospects for mobilization.
