A 🇺🇦 Ukrainian soldier who recently had a run-in with a group of 🇷🇺 Russia's Wagner PMC mercenaries said the fighters are "tireless" and "didn't stop coming" during a battle in Bakhmut, Ukraine.

"We were fighting for about 10 hours in a row. And it wasn't like just waves - it was uninterrupted. So it was just like they didn't stop coming," the soldier, named Andriy, told CNN of fighting troops from the Wagner Group, a private military contractor linked to the Kremlin that consists of mercenaries and former prisoners.

He said the fight was between 200 Ukrainian soldiers and about 200 Wagner troops and described it as a "frightening and surreal experience."

Andriy detailed the ruthless nature of these fighters, comparing the battle to something out of a "zombie movie."

"They're climbing above the corpse of their friends, stepping on them like zombies," he told CNN. He even suggested that the Wagner troops might be "getting some drugs before the attack."



Andriy said their machine gunner was "almost going crazy" because he knew he was shooting at and hitting his targets, but none of the troops he hit were falling.

"He said, 'I know I shot him, but he doesn't fall,'" Andriy told CNN. "And then after some time, when he maybe bleeds out, so he just falls down."

The soldier said his group's AK-47 rifles became so hot from constantly firing at the Wagner troops that they had to keep switching out guns.

He described Wagner's attack method to CNN, saying that first, they send a group of attackers - mainly made up of recruits fresh from Russian prisons. At that point, they begin "digging into position," Andriy said.

A second group then advances to claim more land "step by step," moving forward and into position, Andriy recalled. As Wagner loses more troops and groups are exhausted, they send more as an attempt to hold their spot on the battlefield.



Eventually, Andriy's group was surrounded. "We didn't expect them to come from there," he told CNN.

"We were shooting until the last bullet, so we threw all the grenades we had and left only me and a few guys. We were helpless in that situation," he told CNN.

Tens of thousands of Wagner fighters have joined in Russia's war efforts to capture Bakhmut, where intense fighting has raged for months. Among the group's fighters are recruited prisoners who have been sent to the front lines, sometimes alongside newly mobilized Russian troops and used to absorb heavy Ukrainian fire.

War never favours either side

Make putin go sit down

Shey una get mind wan fight the mother Russia

Napoleon and Hitler wey dey craze no fit na taata like you wan follow Russia.

Win make I see.

The ukranian president is just depopulating his people with this senseless war he can't win.

Very stubborn like ojukwu who wasted 3 million lives in eastern Nigeria during the civil war.

Senseless

Sensless war i hope it end soon

All hail pro-Putin luuuunatics!!!

They won't read the post before commenting.

Russia are sacrificing enough blood for every inch of land they "conquer". Of course they have the population to waste away...

By the time Ukraine get the much promised weapons from the West, they will reclaim every of their territory the Russians have sacrificed thousands of men to get. And it will be very soon.

Putin na ogboni man why him dey sacrifice him people to the god's

Mid summer time Ukraine will start begging for more tanks because by then Russia must have destroyed the newly donated tanks by NATO.

This will be the first time Ukraine is getting tanks.

Ukraine are good at making use of good weapons. Remember the HIMARS. It really helped stave off the Russians...

It's called ODESHI

The West knows how to hype their weapons.What impact have the HIMARS and multiple rocket launchers done?
For your information Ukraine army received hundreds of Soviet made tanks from Eastern European countries since the begining of the war and Russia have crushed them all the reason they are now begging for western tanks is because their allies have donated all their Soviet made tanks that Ukraine are used to none is left they now turn to Western tanks.

Of course, Soviet tanks are useless tanks. Even the Ukrainians made mince meat of them(on the Russian side) in the early days of the war using ordinary Javelins...

Let the Western tanks enter the battle field now and you will see the difference.

HIMARS is what has caused the war to linger this long. Now the Russians are willing to sacrifice as many men as possible which is why they are making the snail-speed progress they are making. It's at a very huge cost.

This war still dey go on

The same Soviet tanks that crushed the great German army with their Leopard tanks in WW2?
I dey laugh just give it till summer before Elensky will start crying for new set of weapons.

Someone should pls send those two murderers to the war front. Putin and zelenskey abi wetin be his name. Enough of these killings. Haba.

Leaders everywhere are so stupid. Wasting human lives over piece of land that's not up a kilometre in stretch. America learnt the hard lesson, it's time for Russia to learn.

Cry about your own shithole first.. leave people defending their lands to worry about it.. the way una carry this war for head like mannequins sha

Europeans are one hell of stubborn people. Dem no dey fight short term wars like Africans.

England and france fought for 100 years.
The Napoleon Bonaparte war lasted almost 20 years.

World war 1 lasted four years.

World war 2 lasted four years or so.
These people are beasts when it comes to war. Dem no dey play. That's why they were able to develop sophisticated weapons as a result of constant wars.

I really envy the Europeans,they are d best tribe ever LIVETH!

The entire world needs to beware of this Wagner group...... They don't want peace, they want vawulence

So what happened to the over 4,000 Soviet era tanks Ukraine had before the war or their own T80s or the donated T-72s(over 200) from Slovakia and the rest last year?

So it's a few, slightly over 100 western tanks that will come in batches with the earliest coming in 4months time that will turn the tide of the war?

Some of you are too lazy to read but too quick to talk

Putin , see your life outside ?

For one thing I love the Russian fighting spirit, the way and manner they defended mother land against hitler especially in the Stalingrad areas is heroic and personal

You need to watch the movie Stalingrad, or read “operation Barbarossa”

Hitler had the man and the resources, the soviets were outnumbered in men and resources but they never surrendered until they knocked down the gates or Berlin
