The so-called russian PMC "Wagner" sends "cannon fodder" to carry out constant assaults on Ukrainian positions, littering the Ukrainian land with corpses of russian soldiers - this is really what is happening at the front.
Fighters from the front line say that after repelling the first wave of attack, in a half of an hour the Russians go on an assault again and so on in a circle. It is precisely this tactic that is used in the Bakhmut region, the storming of which has become the main task of PMC "Wagner", which is currently fully integrated into the structure of the armed forces of the Russian Federation.

The tactics used on the battlefield in Ukraine by PMC Wagnerhas been investigated by British intelligence.
It was revieled in a latest the U.K. Defense Ministry’s Defense Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine.
According to the update, the soldiers receive a smartphone or tablet with commercial satellite images, showing them the designated axis of advance and the attack’s target. Meanwhile, the Wagner Group commanders at platoon level and above stay undercover and give orders via radios, according to the latest ministry’s intelligence update, The Kyiv Independent reports.
The individual servicemen and units are ordered to follow a predetermined route, “often with fire-support, but less often alongside armored vehicles,” the U.K. Defense Ministry wrote.
The officials added that those who decline to attack “are likely being threatened with summary execution.”
“These brutal tactics aim to conserve Wagner’s rare assets of experienced commanders and armored vehicles, at the expense of the more readily available convict recruits, which the organization assesses as expendable,” reads the report.
The Wagner Group is a private military formation run by Evgenii Prigozhin, a close confidant of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Russia deployed the mercenaries to eastern Ukraine amid its military’s heavy losses.
