Russian commander claimed the Wagner mercenaries had kidnapped and tortured his soldiers during battle for Bakhmut
In a video posted online, Lt Col Roman Venevitin, who called himself the “already former commander”, also accused Wagner soldiers of stealing arms, forcing mobilised soldiers to sign contracts with Wagner, and attempting to extort weapons from the Russian defence ministry in exchange for releasing kidnapped (Russian) soldiers. The circumstances surrounding the accusations remain unclear.
