British intelligence also predicts that the release of the prisoners will worsen the private military company’s personnel problems.

Almost half of the prisoners recruited by PMC Wagner six months ago were killed or wounded in the war in Ukraine. This is stated in the defense intelligence report of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, published on Twitter on Tuesday, March 21.

“In the coming weeks, thousands of Russian prisoners who fought for the Wagner group are likely to be pardoned and released. Wagner’s recruitment peaked in the fall of 2022, with prisoners offering to commute their sentences after six months of service… In the certificates issued to the released Wagner veterans, it is said that they were approved by order of President Putin,” the report said.

Intelligence said that since Wagner was now likely to be prohibited from recruiting new prisoners, releasing the prisoners would exacerbate the PMCs’ staffing problems.

In addition, the sudden influx of often violent criminals with recent and often traumatic combat experience is likely to be a major problem for the Russian war society.

Recall that PMC Wagner wants to recruit 30,000 militants by May.
