Ukraine can spare forces to fight in another country? That sounds wrong and inefficient.

A small group of purpose trained soldiers can be hell for the Russian military abroad

Wagner Group isn't "the Russian Military", it's a private paramilitary organisation. Mercenaries by any other name.

And how is that more efficient than fighting them in Ukraine? Where, besides creating "hell" for Wagner and/or Russian fighters, they would also directly protect Ukrainians' lives.

Also, strong reddit vibes here with all the downvotes, just because people don't like an opinion, or someone dare criticise anything Ukraine does. Or in this case, is alleged to be doing: none of the videos provides any kind of evidence. Just random people doing random war stuff.

Thanks for at least addressing some of my points.

So all “Wagner” presence left in the world is now Russian MOD.

Then why even call it Wagner anymore? But that's a minor point.

And if the videos prove it or not is separate from the point I made.

Fine. Then provide some other evidence, please.

Doing the most damage to your enemy and keeping them off balance is the “game”. And if the MOD has to retask troops to protect their foreign holdings, Ukraine wins double.

In this case, by MOD you mean the Russian MOD? That makes some sense.

Russians can stop all of that by withdrawing to pre 2014 borders.

Undoubtedly, and in my opinion that's the only option worth discussing.
