 More than 1,100 graves of Wagnerites were found in Russia and occupied Ukraine. The discovery of mass burial sites for slain Wagner fighters has shed light on the mounting death toll suffered by Russian forces in Ukraine as the conflict enters its 15th month. According to Moscow Times newspaper, while there are no official figures available for Wagner's war losses, thousands of its mercenaries are believed to have died in combat, particularly in the heavily contested city of Bakhmut, where these soldiers for hire have played a prominent role. In February, U.S. officials claimed over 30,000 Wagner fighters had been injured or killed. Ukrainian troops say Wagner fighters had been sent into attacks in large numbers Over open ground and a Ukrainian Army spokesperson said Moscow had failed to evacuate wounded and dead soldiers leading to places where their bodies are just piled up. To date, Wagner cemeteries have been discovered as far away from the frontline as Siberia's Irkutsk region while others are as close as the Russian occupied city of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine. Each grave bears a sign reading Blood on a Motherland Courage, PMC Wagner.
