Former Wagnerites wrote a letter to Putin / Getty Images, collage 24 Channel Former mercenaries from the Wagner PMC made a collective appeal to Vladimir Putin. They told what was happening after the unsuccessful rebellion of their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin. Former mercenaries wrote that after the unsuccessful rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner PMC split. They assured Putin that only 25% of the “scumbags” loyal to the leader and ready for any crimes took part in this coup attempt, and the rest of the militants allegedly refused to do so. Former Wagnerites said they were persecuted, maimed and killed for refusing to participate in Prigozhin's rebellion. Some mercenaries were killed right at the point of temporary deployment, and then passed off as having died in the line of duty. After the contract was broken, they were deprived of combat payments. Also, most of them did not receive their salaries. And they were not given a medal for capturing Bakhmut. Only participants in the failed coup received these awards. Ex-Wagnerites also claim that former “colleagues” call them and promise to pay off their debts. In return, they demand to be in touch and demonstrate absolute loyalty and, if necessary, repeat the mutiny in the interests of the Wagner PMC. In an appeal to Putin, the militants reproached the dictator for absolving Prigozhin and his “thugs” of responsibility for the rebellion. Therefore, the leader of the mercenaries and his entourage “felt permissiveness” and began to “do arbitrariness.” Ex-Wagnerites describe the manipulations of Prigozhin, who was still alive at that time, with contracts and even accuse him and the commanders close to him of violating Russian labor legislation. Moreover, the militants, in an appeal to the president of the aggressor country, stated that they want to live in a rule-of-law state where laws work. They are even ready to give up everyone for this. The militants mentioned in the letter the large losses of the Wagner PMC during the assault on Bakhmut. They suggested that it was profitable for their leadership to send “meat” because for each killed the company received 15 million rubles from the treasury of the aggressor country, only 5 million of which were paid to the relatives of the dead mercenaries. As an example of losses, the fifth assault detachment is given, where out of 600 militants only 20 survived. There, the mercenaries were specially given minimal ammunition and were used as living targets in order to find firing points of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this way. The letter also states that the shortage of ammunition at the Wagner PMC was made up. Letter from former Wagnerites to Putin / Photo OBOZ.UA What's happening at Wagner PMC
