It is said that in Bakhmut, where fierce fighting continues, 1,000 Wagner fighters have died, 90% of whom were prisoners. According to AFP, Wagner orders prisoners to advance "desperately" on the front lines and uses them to expose the positions of the Ukrainian army, which opens fire. In other words, they are using prisoners as cannon fodder. ■ Origin of "Wagner" The name "Wagner" is said to be derived from the Russian pronunciation of the German composer Wagner. Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries". It is said that Nazi Germany led by Hitler once used it to boost morale. ■ To conflict countries in Syria and Africa Wagner is not only fighting in Ukraine. In the Syrian civil war, where Russia supports the Assad regime, it secretly played a role in suppressing the anti-government forces. After that, it is believed that they expanded their customers to conflict countries in Africa. ■ The main tasks of private military companies are security and supply of supplies, and it is extremely rare for them to play a major role in the war itself, such as participating in combat on the front lines like Wagner. The problem with Wagner is that, because it is not a regular army, even if a large number of casualties are incurred, they are "not counted as war dead". The Putin regime can cover up even if it suffers great sacrifices on the battlefield. A private military company that secretly operates as Russia's "shadow army".
