Journalists also found cases investigated, were told similar stories: their loved ones were imprisoned, volunteered to go and fight as part of Wagner Group, were released from penitentiary facilities at the end of August, and in October they contact with them was lost. Neither representatives of the Wagner Group nor other organizations reached out to the families of those killed.

The burial site near Luhansk is already the third site where dozens of graves of convicts who fought in Ukraine as part of Wagner Group have been discovered.

In December, 47 graves were discovered in the village of Bakunsk, Krasnodar Area. In just two months, the number of burials increased sixfold, and by late January there were already 270 graves there. All of them are decorated with wreaths with a red, black, and yellow emblem, similar to that seen on Wagner’s patches and banners.

Betting on Ukraine victory was ‘suicidal’ – Seymour Hersh
The West didn’t even want Kiev in NATO because of corruption concerns, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist says


The US and its allies should have attempted to reach an agreement with Moscow as their belief that Ukraine can win a conflict against Russia is “suicidal,” iconic American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has argued.
Speaking in a YouTube interview with the Consortium News outlet on Friday, Hersh accused the Biden administration of making “so many bad mistakes,” adding that “it’s impossible to believe just how dumb this leadership was.” 
“It was suicidal to think you can win that war, that Ukraine can win the war [against Russia]. There’s just too much corruption. That was a very, very bad decision. We should have been pushing for peace, we should have made an agreement,” the former Pulitzer Prize winner insisted.
US President Joe Biden basically “blew off NATO in Europe” by telling allies that he is backing Ukraine with its “totally corrupt government,” Hersh added. The journalist also pointed out how Kiev glorifies Stepan Bandera, “the great pro-Nazi who killed Jews like crazy during World War II.” 
“It’s just silly not to right away assure the Russian government that we weren’t interested in making Ukraine a member of NATO,” Hersh stated, referring to long-standing concerns in Moscow. “NATO didn’t want Ukraine anyway because of the corruption.”

Russia’s military keeps running short of trucks, and truck drivers. Many were killed in huge numbers during Russia’s offensive deep inside Ukraine. According to the open source project Oryx documenting Russian war losses, the Russian military has lost at least 1,254 supply trucks and fuel tankers.

First Batch US M2A2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Bound For Ukraine, Arrives In Germany last week.

Bradleys are armored vehicles that move infantry through hostile environments and provide supportive fire. 

The vehicle can effectively take on tanks thanks to its TOW missiles and powerful 25mm chain gun. which also included more fighting vehicles, ammunition, missiles, and Stryker armored personnel carriers.

“The Russians are really digging in. They’re digging in. They’re digging trenches, they’re putting in these dragon’s teeth, laying mines. They’re really trying to fortify their forward line for their troops.

Kahl said. “To enable the Ukrainians to break through given Russian defenses, emphasis has been shifted to enabling them combine fire and maneuver in a way that will prove to be more effective.”

At World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland,. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy told political leaders that Western weapons must outpace Russia’s attacks, urging the world to move fast as “tragedies outpacing life; tyranny is outpacing democracy.”

Noted: Stryker can transport a full squad of nine infantry and a crew of two. It equipped with a 30 mm gun, a machine gun and/or a grenade launcher, and can travel up to 60 miles/hour (100 km/hour). It runs on eight wheels, which makes it more nimble, speedy and fuel efficient than Bradley.

The first 60 Bradleys was announced last week. Known as a “tank-killer” because of anti-tank missile it can fire, Bradley runs on tracks, making it more useful in muddy terrain than the Stryker.

This two vehicles serve different purposes. Bradley brings more firepower but carries fewer troops. The more lightly armored Stryker is wheeled, can move a lot faster on paved roads, meaning it can get infantry squadrons into the fight better.

Ukraine has for months sought such supplie with heavier tanks, including the U.S. Abrams and German Leopard 2 tanks, but Western leaders have been careful. The UK announced last month will send Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine.

Kahl said the M1 Abrams tank is a very complicated piece of equipment. Tt’s hard to train on. It has a jet engine  , I think it’s about three gallons to the mile of jet fuel. It is not the easiest system to maintain. It may or may not be the right system, Kahl.

“One of the things that Secretary (Lloyd) Austin has been very focused on is that we should not be providing Ukrainians systems they can’t repair, they can’t sustain, and they and that they over the long term can’t afford, because it’s not helpful.”

Poland has expressed readiness to provide a company of Leopard tanks. While German officials have +Poland and Czech Republic have provided Soviet-era T-72 tanks to Ukrainian forces, and France has said it would send AMX-10 RC armored combat vehicles to Ukraine, designated “light tanks” in French.

Influx of new tanks and armored carriers comes as Ukraine faces intense combat in eastern Ukraine around city of Bakhmut and nearby salt mining town of Soledar. Battles are expected to intensify in the spring.

With addition 100 Bradleys, the U.S. aid package included 100 M113 armored personnel carriers and 55 mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles, or MRAPS. Those types of armored carriers, along with the Strykers, will better protect Ukrainian troops who are fighting a brutal campaign against Wagner forces, made up in large part of convicts from Russian prisons.

U.S. has large number of Strykers available the Army announced plans to convert its to a more mobile, infantry unit.

Parents of prisoners have approached Olga Romanova for help. Initially, the parents were willing to go to court so that their children wouldn't end up in Ukraine, Penal Colony Number Six is notorious for its ill-treatment and frequent beatings of convicts. Olga described it as "a torture prison.

The colony's admin has not replied to BBC's request to respond to allegations that they forced prisoners to sign military contracts.
Recruitment in prisons appears to have been very successful, but things are changing as Wagner group is suffering heavy losses.

BBC Uzbek hspoken to Farukh (not his real name), a citizen of Uzbekistan who in prison in Russia's Rostov region with Several of his fellow inmates joined Wagner. First it was voluntary, Farukh said, but now he's worried that prisoners may be killed to Ukraine. In the beginning, I also ilke everyone thought Russia, Putin is winning - maybe in month, 3-months or in one year. Now they see many people are dying and also are short of soldiers - it's not good.

Central Asian citizens are recruited to fight for Russia in many ways. Overall about 10.5 million migrants from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan working in Russia, the latest statistics from Russian Interior Ministry. And that's a massive resource for military headhunters to tap.

A missile that hit an apartment building in Ukraine's eastern city of Dnipro on Saturday has thus far killed 30 people, with some 40 others still unaccounted for, Dnipropetrovsk Governor Valentyn Reznichenko said on Sunday, reported DW, quoting news agencies AFP, dpa and Reuters.

Reznichenko said on his Telegram account that a search operation, ongoing for over 24 hours, has involved 550 people. They included rescuers, police officers, doctors and volunteers.

On Sunday, a 27-year-old woman was pulled out from under the rubble. She suffered from severe hypothermia and was taken to a hospital's intensive care unit for treatment, Reznichenko said.

The governor added that 39 residents of the struck building were rescued. Of the 73 people injured during the strike, 30 were hospitalized, including 12 with serious injuries.

Over 70 apartments were destroyed by the strike, which was carried out using a Russian Kh-22 missile, the Ukrainian armed force said. The missile is known to be inaccurate and Ukrainian forces lack the necessary air defense to shoot it down.

The Vuhledar sector has, perhaps because of that open terrain, seen by far the biggest concentration of professional Russian ground units and armored vehicles committed to combat by the Kremlin in 2023

According to those reports, Russian area commander Lieutenant General Rustam Muradov ordered attack units led by the Marine Infantry brigades to advance as rapidly as possible towards Ukrainian defenses, with the short-term objective of establishing forward infantry fighting positions to act as a base for future attacks.

Ukrainian artillery and fire direction networks had been long-established in the sector, and day after day, Russian armored columns were halted and then crushed by accurate shell strikes adjusted by Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) drones, or Ukrainian artillery observers perched atop the highest terrain in the vicinity:
