Didn't know former Wagner personnel were involved either. Interesting that they're also being used such

I sincerely doubt there is any significant number of former Wagner personnel left at this point. An 80% casualty rate per assault and multiple years of war is a brutal statiatic. There might be a few in those divisions today, but they likely spent time in other units for the past few years where it was safer.

It's a penal division of expendables being sent to their deaths.

That would be wild right? I guess I'm surprised many would have permanently vreturned to Ukraine after everything. Such a strange trajectory

I'm still in absolute awe that we live in the timeline where literal Nazi mercenaries marched on Moscow in 2023 and were dumb enough to expect to be greeted as liberators.
