The burial site is located on the outskirts of the village of Bakinskaja in the Krasnodar region of southern Russia. The Russian private company Wagner has its own area here. There they bury mercenaries who have lost their lives in the war in Ukraine. On the graves there are simple wooden crosses and a wreath in strong colors with the Wagner symbol. MANY PRISONERS: A satellite image from the cemetery in southern Russia shows that many have been buried in recent months. According to the news agency Reuters, Wagner used the cemetery this summer. Now there will be around 200 graves on the site, and the space will be practically full. Mercenaries from prisons The Wagner Group’s founder and leader is the Russian oligarch Yevgejin Prigozhon. Last year he was filmed urging prisoners in Russian prisons to sign up as mercenaries in the war in Ukraine. NOT PARDONED: According to Reuters, it has been confirmed that 39 of the dead at Wagner’s burial ground and in places nearby are former prisoners. Photo: STRINGER \/ Reuters Reuters has taken a closer look at the names on Wagner’s graves and writes that many of the dead were former prisoners who were recruited by the company last year. 39 of those buried and in nearby cemeteries have been confirmed as former inmates. The agency has found this out by going through court documents, open databases and social media. It has also been in contact with family, friends and lawyers of some of the dead. The prisoners were promised that they would be pardoned if they survived six months at the front. Wagner mercenaries are also buried in places other than where this video was filmed. Unclear figures American intelligence estimates that around 40,000 prisoners from Russian prisons have been recruited for the war in Ukraine in recent months. The Washington Post wrote that some time ago. ELSEWHERE: Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was present when one of his mercenaries was buried in St. Petersburg.

The British Ministry of Defense recently told the BBC that Wagner now probably has around 50,000 mercenaries in Ukraine and that 80 percent of them are former prisoners. Fierce fighting Yesterday, Ukrainian authorities confirmed to the AFP news agency that the Ukrainian army has withdrawn from the small town of Soledar in eastern Ukraine to new positions nearby. FIGHTING: Ukrainian forces fire on Russian positions on the front line near Bakhmut in Donbass. Photo: STRINGER \/ Reuters There have been fierce battles here and in the neighboring town of Bakhmut for a long time. Mercenaries from the Wagner Group are said to have been deployed in these battles alongside regular Russian occupation forces. There must have been heavy losses on both the Ukrainian and Russian sides. Today, the United States has classified the Wagner group as a “transnational criminal organization”. According to Reuters, this means, among other things, that the group’s values \u200b\u200bin the US will be frozen. The US authorities are also imposing further sanctions on the Wagner group. It is accused of having contributed to Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine. According to Reuters, Wagner or Russian military and civilian authorities do not want to comment on this case.
