Police in the Russian city of Saratov on April 24 detained former Wagner member Azamat Uldarov, who publicly said weeks earlier that the mercenary group's fighters killed civilians, including children, in Ukraine. The Gulagu.net rights group said Uldarov may face brutality or even death as Wagner group personnel were present during Uldarov’s detainment and questioning and beat him in the presence of investigators. In mid-April, Uldarov and another former Wagner member, Aleksei Savichev, told Gulagu.net about atrocities by the group's fighters and enormous personnel losses in the war in Ukraine.
