Massive Casualties: Wagner Troops Suffer Devastating Losses in Ukraine Conflict

According to a Wagner-affiliated Telegram channel, over 20,000 fighters from the Wagner Group have been killed and 40,000 wounded in Russia's war in Ukraine. The statement contradicts a claim made by a Russian MP that 33,000 Wagnerites had joined the Russian army. The paramilitary group, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, recently launched a mutiny against the Russian military leadership and is now fractured. Prigozhin announced that Wagner's troops would not return to fighting in Ukraine but would stay in Belarus to train local forces before potentially heading to Africa.
