There are reports that the commander of the Russian mercenary scumbags known as the Wagner Group has been killed near Bakhmut, where the Wagner Group has been making incremental gains against Ukrainian defenders.
Assuming this is true — and that that was really him as the guest of honor at his funeral — this would be way more satisfying than the average Russian general getting offed.
This guy is a veteran of Wagner operations in Chechnya, Libya, Syria, Georgia and Ukraine.
There is no telling how many war crimes he probably committed. He even looks like a psychopath in the photo below.
So naturally, in Putin’s Russia, he gets the hero treatment.
The only regrettable thing about this is that Nagin won’t get to be tried as a war criminal.
