In the coming weeks, thousands of Russian prisoners who fought for the Wagner group are likely to be pardoned and released. Prisoner recruitment peaked in the fall of 2022, when prisoners were offered commutation after six months of service. This is reported British Ministry of Defense on Twitter.
“While roughly half of the prisoners recruited were likely killed or injured, evidence from Russia suggests the group is making good on its promise to free the survivors. The certificates issued to the retired veterans of the Wagner PPK claim they were approved by President Putin’s decree. Since Wagner is likely to be banned from recruiting new prisoners, this outflow will exacerbate its staffing problems..
In addition, the agency adds, the sudden influx of often violent offenders with recent and often traumatic combat experience is likely to pose a significant challenge to Russian wartime society.
Recall that the defender of Ukraine spoke about the situation near Bakhmut: “Before each offensive, the Wagnerites are injected with diphenhydramine with tramadol.”
