The private military company Wagner slowed down the recruitment of prisoners, as it was no longer an important force at the front.
The Russian military command gradually abandoned its reliance on the Wagner PMC, and the use of prisoners as “cannon fodder”. Analysts of the Institute for the Study of War ISW came to this conclusion.
It was noted that the private military company Wagner slowed down the pace of recruiting prisoners, as it ceased to be an important force at the front.
As reported, the founder of PMC Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that his company has completely stopped recruiting prisoners.
According to ISW analysts, most likely, PMC Wagner will continue to recruit people in prisons, although it will be done on a smaller scale.
“This phenomenon is consistent with the general trend of a slow replacement of the Wagnerians by regular Russian troops in the Bakhmut area,” said the ISW Institute for the Study of War.
It will be remembered, according to media reports, the number of mercenaries in PMC Wagner has been reduced five times. The number of imprisoned mercenaries was 50 thousand, but now there are 10 thousand left.
