I won’t link it because we apparently don’t like that sub here (?), but there is a thread about them on Dongistan sub.
I remember UA propaganda claimed they are doing zombie like human wave attacks while pumped on drugs and have 40000 KIA (!) by now, while in reality they have maybe 400 (so that seems like projection). Apparently they have super strict discipline to completely avoid any private contacts with civilians in the warzone.
Everything in mainstream about them seems highly suspicious since they are the target of concentrated whataboutism propaganda painting them as some kind of nazi group to make libs bothside them with Azov, but there is no proof whasoever for that except that one pic of guy with swastikas that is supposedly their member, but even if real, the comparison to hundreds pics of nazi Ukrainians is so stark even the twitter crowd is not buying it.
Kaffe is most likely right that this is not one huge mercenary group, but all of them. They are also not really a mercenaries in classical sense of the word, just a front for Russia to unoficially gets boots on the ground, exactly like USA taught them to do.
I’ll look around to see about the sub (is it a Reddit or Lemmy sub?). Thanks for input on this stuff. The whole thing is just so mixed together and various outlets are doing the same things they did after 9/11 and the build-up to Iraq in the US. Everyone is trying to discredit anything that doesn’t safely fit the various narratives and trying to be seen as the mouthpieces of history so they can write their “brave coverage” books like always. If we keep the pro-war hype-train going faster and faster with the breaks removed. Then there won’t be a world left or people to read those masturbatory books.
