 Ukrainian president discloses number of killed Wagner mercenaries. About 21,000 mercenaries of the Wagner group were killed during the fighting in the east of Ukraine. President Vladimir Zelensky said in his interview with Spanish Elmundo. He said that during the battles the strongest units of Wagner were destroyed. Of course they could only attack. They had no choice but to attack, otherwise they would be killed by their comrades in arms. This was the main secret of their power. According to Zelensky, about 80,000 Wagner mercenaries were injured during the fighting. This was part of our counter-attack operations. Our fighters are ready to go forward. Mikhailov Podolayev, advisor to the head of the office of the president of Ukraine, said that Ukraine is not currently at risk of an attack from the north. And the presence of the Wagner fighters in Belarus does not pose a threat.
