“A Ukrainian report from December 2022 concludes that Wagner is a unique threat in close contact,” CNN reports, citing a Ukrainian intelligence report.
Journalists note that the document shows the effectiveness of the activities of PMCs in the Artyomovsk region.
It is also specified that the Wagner fighters use assault units: they work in mobile groups of about ten people or less and receive real-time data from drones.
The first wave of attack aircraft is followed by fighters with thermal imagers and night vision equipment.
When the positions can be recaptured, the artillery allows the Wagnerites to dig in and gain a foothold in the field, follows from the report.
Earlier, the founder of the PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced that he had taken control of the settlement of Kleshcheevka near Artyomovsk.
On January 18, it became known that the volunteers of the assault detachments, with the support of aviation, artillery and missilemen of the Russian Armed Forces, liberated the village of Sol in the Donetsk People's Republic.
