A huge number of Wagner fighters have been sent back to Russia from Belarus, but many of them have wound up going on drinking binges at train stations instead of returning to their families.

That’s according to a new report from the independent Russian outlet Mozhem Obyasnit, which reports that “every other brigade” of the mercenary group has been sent on vacation, with only the most experienced fighters remaining at the group’s new camp in Belarus.

Relatives of the Wagnerites have reportedly taken to a group chat to vent about the mercenaries’ misadventures.
