Ukraine-Russia war LIVE – Twisted Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov ATTACKS Vladimir Putin for ‘going soft’ on war targets

WAGNER Group mercenaries have been filmed fighting in Ukraine as Russian troops storm houses in a bloody battle for control in Donbas. The drone footage captures Russian troops within the town of Popansa, in Ukraine’s east. The group are involved in intense street fighting with Ukrainian defenders. The footage captures the moment that the death squads are storming a house and throwing grenades before forcing people to surrender. The soldiers are mercenaries from the Wagner Group, according to pro-Russian sources. They are a shadowy military contractor with links to the Kremlin which is thought to be responsible for atrocities in conflicts from South America to the Middle East. The footage first appeared in a Telegram channel of ‘Colonel Cassad’ – a pro-Russian blogger named Boris Rozhin. It was re-posed by Rob Lee, a respected analyst from the War Studies department of King’s College, who repeated Rozhin’s claim that the troops are from Wagner.
