Captured Wagner soldiers confirm lack of ammunition and medicine – spokesman of Tauride Defense Forces

He said this on the air of the Espreso TV channel. 

"I can confirm the information about the lack of ammunition and medicine among Wagner fighters. This information is also confirmed by Wagner's captives. They also talk about disputes between mercenaries and soldiers of the regular army of the Russian Federation. We don't see many Wagner soldiers on the front line now, because they have nothing to fight with," said Dmytrashkivsky.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces colonel added that the Russian forces are sending reinforcements to their units in the Donetsk region.

"We have also received reports that the 155th and 40th brigades of the Russian army have not been withdrawn from the occupied territories of Ukraine. Instead, they were merged into one brigade and left in the occupied Donetsk region. They also received reinforcements in more than 43 buses that were spotted in Melitopol. These are mostly mobilized Russians," he added.

• On February 18, Mayor Ivan Fedorov said that 43 Russian buses with Wagner PMC militants were spotted in the temporarily occupied Melitopol in Zaporizhzhia region.
