Reply to comment by DCrichieelias79 in A Russian graveyard reveals Wagner's prisoner army by reuters

hm. I'm not buying it.

If it's a big PR thing, then why even write that you're having to dig for prisoners rather than just saying they were patriotic volunteers.

Also, we have the words from captured Wagner forces themselves.

Those very same wagner POWs are the ones saying the prisoners are basically meatshields sent out to soak bullets. There is zero intent to let them survive. Only the ones with families wealthy enough to pay bribes get to come back alive.

Yes I agree with you. But that’s not the same as what we are talking about.
