In Russia, the " Wagner

" militants

are recruiting former patients of psychiatric hospitals.

Men are not required to provide any certificates when enrolling at the PMC, and they do not undergo a serious medical examination.  

The Moscow Times writes about it.

According to journalists, the announcement that now to join "Wagner" you don't need certificates from a psychiatrist and narcologist, as well as fluorography, was posted in one of the PMC groups on social networks.

The information about the readiness to hire people who were treated in a psychoneurological dispensary was confirmed by the recruiters of the PVC.

Thus, one of the journalists, under the guise of someone who wants to sign up for the PMK, told the recruiters that he was undergoing treatment for a nervous breakdown, he was sent a formal instruction with the requirements for new recruits and was offered to evaluate himself according to it.



"We will familiarize ourselves with the instructions, if everything is fine, we are waiting for you," the PMK recruiter said.

Although the instructions say that people who "suffer from serious diseases that prevent them from performing their duties, suffer from drug addiction, and have contracted hepatitis B and C" are not accepted into the private military company.

However, no certificates are required, after arriving at the place, as follows from the same instructions, no serious medical examination is carried out: only an express blood test and a urine drug test are taken.

Recruiters of PMC "Wagner" explain the sharp reduction in requirements for recruits - "to remove unnecessary bureaucracy."

It will be recalled that analysts of the American Institute for the Study of War believe that

Russia may lose a significant part of the elite units of the "Wagner" PMC in the battle for Bakhmut

, the enemy will not be able to surround the city without significant losses on its part. 

The owner of PVK "Wagner" Evgeny

Prigozhin made a statement about the problems near Bakhmut

.

According to him, the Armed Forces formed a group to block his mercenaries in the direction of Bakhmut.

Prigozhin also declared that

if his mercenaries retreated from Bakhmut, the front would spread to the Russian borders.
