“Russians mark such sick “fighters” with appropriate bracelets on their hands. The phenomenon has already become widespread. Thus, from only one penal colony No. 5 in the village of Metalostroy, Leningrad region, more than a hundred prisoners with confirmed HIV or hepatitis C were “mobilized” to the Wagner PMC,” the message says.
Details
According to the Intelligence Directorate, in order to “label” infected militants, the command of the “Wagnerians” forces them to wear red bracelets on their hands in case of HIV and white bracelets in the case of hepatitis.
As noted, there is growing outrage among the militants who are forced to serve alongside the infected. It is known that Russian doctors systematically refuse to provide assistance to the wounded with hepatitis or HIV.
“Captured militants with HIV and hepatitis have already been identified in Ukraine, which confirm the information about the mass “recruitment” of infected prisoners to the Wagner CEC,” the GUR said.
Recall
On October 20, Ukrainian intelligence reported that more than 8000 Wagner mercenaries were participating in Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.
