Nobody understands exactly why the Russians keep pouring resources into a pointless fight where more than 200 Russian soldiers are dying every day in battles around the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. But then when you hear that the Wagner PMC is fighting there with its trained soldiers in a line behind prisoners and conscripts, it starts to makes sense. Evgeniy Prigozhin wants to prove that his Wagnerites are better than the Russian army, and Vladimir Putin wants any kind of victory at any cost. Things have gone so badly for Putin this summer that now all his bets are on this insignificant, non-strategic crossroads to nowhere called Bakhmut. And Prigozhin has brought more than 23,000 prisoners into military service. It's a meat grinder, but for Wagner, more people are no problem.Nobody understands exactly why the Russians keep pouring resources into a pointless fight where more than 200 Russian soldiers are dying every day in battles around the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.
