Wagner’s Russian private military company is suffering huge losses in Ukraine. This is evidenced by satellite images from the cemetery where mercenaries are buried, published by The New York Times.
In particular, the photo taken on January 24 shows about 170 burials in the cemetery area. This number has increased almost seven times compared to the photo taken on November 24, 2022.
