Ukraine’s SBU Security Service on October 7 released the personal data of 206 contractors from Russian military intelligence working for the private military company Wagner. They were previously identified fighting in Syria during February 2018.
The list published on the SBU’s website includes first names, patronymics and surnames, citizenship, dates of birth and home addresses, as well as information about how the contractors died.
According to the SBU, eight of Wagner mercenaries who died during the so-called “Prigozhin attack” in Syria on February 7, 2018 “during 2014-2016 took part in military operations in Donbas as part of Russian-led forces.” Several of them actively assisted Russia to annex Crimea or assisted in carrying out attacks in Ukraine, the SBU said.
The SBU said the number of Wagner contractors who died as a result of the February 7, 2018 attack in Syria already numbers 58.
