Details: Zelenskyy said such colossal losses suggest the number of Russian mercenaries. "The good news is that we have wiped out the most motivated part of the Russian forces," the president stressed.

Previously: According to Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence, the consequences of the Wagner Group’s attempted uprising for Ukraine include the fact that the Russian leadership has been compromised and that Yevgeny Prigozhin's subordinates will no longer fight against the Ukrainian state.
