'We have no training, we have no equipment and it is a crime to say that in Russia,' a soldier named Vadim said, according to a newspaper report.

"We go away for a month, twice a year, and practice firing, but we don't train for ambushes. Artillery isn't supposed to be ambushed," he said.

"They trained us for five days, we waited for another five days for a force rotation and then we went to [combat] positions," Ivan said, noting that recruits carried out some informal training exercises in that time, including combat skills, seizing and storming buildings, all-around defense, working in combat teams, field medicine, evacuation and treatment of wounded soldiers.

In an intelligence update Monday, the U.K.'s defense ministry said that the notorious Russian military company Wagner Group is lowering its recruiting standards after heavy losses sustained in the war against Ukraine.
