Two former fighters of the Russian private military company Wagner captured by Ukraine told CNN their units suffered massive losses in the Donbas. The two men said they were recruited from prison, where they were serving long sentences, and given limited training before being sent to the front lines. One of the two said his 90-man unit lost 60 fighters during their first assault. Both claimed retreat was not an option because their commanders would have ordered them shot.
