Army lieutenant colonel accuses Wagner of violent acts on Russian soldiers. This is an unprecedented escalation of the conflict between Wagner and the regular army and a crossing of red lines never seen by Yevgeny Prigozhin.
In the video released by Wagner on Monday, Roman Venevitine, a senior regular force officer questioned by a Wagner jailer, said he deliberately targeted a unit of the mercenary group with his artillery. He also describes the extremely violent behind-the-scenes of the Battle of Bakhmut, from the theft of Russian army equipment by mercenaries.
