[キーウ 29日 ロイター] –The British Ministry of Defense said on the 29th that Russia was entrusting part of its frontline mission to combatants of a private military company during the Ukrainian War due to a shortage of troops.

Combatants from the Russian private military company Wagner are unlikely to fill in the gaps for regular army soldiers or change the course of Russia’s invasion, he said.

In a Twitter post, the Pentagon pointed out that Wagner has primarily taken on a role different from that of the regular army since 2015, but this time it is using it differently.

No comments have been received from Wagner and the Presidential Administration of Russia.
