The body of a soldier is seen near a destroyed Russian tank in Donetsk region, Ukraine, June 14, 2023. The reason that Wagner's troops got this close to Russia's capital was this: the reluctance to fight and respect on the part of Russian troops towards these fighters who had won the battles against Ukraine at Bakhmut and Soledar in Donetsk region, suffering a heavy loss of personnel for the Russians.
