21,000 Wagner mercenaries killed in Ukraine and ‘world wants to kill’ Putin, Zelensky says

in news •  last year 

"Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed Kyiv's estimate of the losses suffered by the Wagner Group of mercenaries.

Zelensky said that the group, headed by Yevgeny Prigozhin, was divided into two categories—professional mercenaries and those who had been drafted from prisons which he described as "their cannon fodder."

The Wagner Group has been key to Russia's war effort in the Donetsk city of Bakhmut, during which both sides are reported to have suffered heavy losses.

"Our troops killed 21,000 and wounded 80,000 of them," Zelensky told the Spanish newspaper El Mundo in an interview which coincided with a visit to Kyiv by Spain's prime minister Pedro Sanchez as Madrid takes charge of the rotating European Union presidency."

"That is, about 100,000 Wagner fighters were killed or wounded by our troops in the east. These were colossal losses for the Wagner,” the Ukrainian head of state continued. “Now everyone can see: we destroyed the real fist of the Wagner fighters in the east of Ukraine.”

He continued, adding that Wagner fighters, who have been involved in some of the bloodiest battles in Ukraine, are pressing on towards the front line, even as Ukrainian fire cut most of them down."
