>Exklusiv 10.000 Dollar Kopfprämie, 7000 Dollar Monatslohn: Auch Deutsche kämpfen für die russische Wagner-Gruppe in der Ukraine

>Bei Gefechten in Bachmut haben die Ukrainer auch zwei Deutsche verhaftet. Ein Mann kam aus Leipzig, einer aus Berlin. Sie kämpften für die Wagner-Gruppe.
Scheiße das heißt meine Steuern füttern bald 2 idioten mehr durch
Looks like they joined the wrong Wagner. They hoped for free pizza.
How foolish of them.
Keep them or send them back to Russia. Don’t need them here.

>Volker from Berlin had been unemployed for a long time at home and traveled to Russia in September to join the Wagner troupe. Without any previous military experience. He said he did it for the money alone. His salary was also significantly higher than mine. I get 3000 euros a month. As a Wagner mercenary, he gets $5,000 plus allowances, which brings him up to $7,000. However, according to his own statement, he can earn an extra wage: If he kills one of us foreigners and presents the corpse’s passport as proof, he gets an additional $10,000.
The last bit sounds like too much, is there confirmation?
In any case, it explains the motivation to go on fighting in an essentially hopeless situation.
It’s sick that people do this – killing for money. But it’s nothing new, sadly.
Sadly this isn’t all that uncommon. Those who have followed such news will know that there have been multiple instances reported in the last year where western ex-military types and other volunteers have been found serving in various roles in the armed forces of autocratic and hostile states. UK and the US have started to put legal pressure on their people working for the Chinese armed forces, for example, as ex-western-aiforce pilots have been found training Chinese pilots. The career prospects in western militaries have generally not been that great in the last few decades which has been fueling a move by military professionals to seek employment elsewhere and some of them have been quite unscrupulous in what they’re willing to do as long as the money is good.
