By most estimates it seems that more than 50,000 Ukrainian troops have died in this city alone over the past 8 months. One year ago in history on this date, Mariupol, the birthplace of Azov Nazism, was liberated as well. @shrike502@Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml it seems that Prigozhin’s random diatribes about “running out of ammo” turned out to be some wild psyop after all, I wonder what was happening

    This may be the first time a private military force won a historic battle

    Edit: of course a modern one, without counting mercenaries of old times

      Also excluding American proxy wars in the global south where the mercs just went around massacring civilians. Here, Wagner faced the $200 Billion NATO-trained tacticool army and fucking destroyed it
