Five Zimbabwean mercenaries have been identified as participants in the conflict in Ukraine, according to recent data released by the Russian Defence Ministry. Tragically, one of them has already lost their life on the battlefield.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200024520/zimbo-mercenaries-fighting-in-ukraine">NewsDay</a> reported security sources as saying that the actual number of Zimbabwean mercenaries involved could be higher, possibly reaching up to ten. Three of these mercenaries are believed to be former soldiers from Zimbabwe.
The Russian military operation in Ukraine, which commenced on February 24, 2022, has led to a significant influx of foreign mercenaries.
The total count of these combatants arriving in Ukraine has now reached 13,387. The Russian army claims to have eliminated 5,962 of these mercenaries. It said:
<blockquote>
The Russian Ministry of Defence continues to track and personally record all foreign mercenaries who have arrived in Ukraine to participate in combat action.
</blockquote>
Russia claims 2,960 mercenaries arrived from Poland, 1,113 “soldiers of fortune are from the United States of America, and 1,042 fighters are from Georgia.
Other contributing countries include Canada, the United Kingdom, Romania, France, and Germany.
Among the foreign mercenaries, 249 hail from 14 African countries, and they have been present in Ukraine since the war began two years ago.
Tragically, 103 of these African fighters have lost their lives in the conflict. The countries with the highest representation are Nigeria (97), Algeria (60), and South Africa (35).
Remarkably, Zimbabwe and South Africa are the sole southern African countries with mercenaries actively operating in Ukraine.
Political analyst Pardon Taodzera said the participation of Zimbabwean mercenaries in Ukraine is worrisome since Zimbabwe is known to be pro-Russian. He said:
<blockquote>
The involvement of Zimbabwean mercenaries in the Ukrainian conflict is a concerning development that underscores the complex and multi-faceted nature of modern warfare.
It highlights the ability of conflicts in one region to attract participants from across the globe, illustrating the interconnectedness of global security dynamics.
The emergence of Zimbabwean mercenaries in Ukraine raises questions about the motivations and interests driving their participation.
It suggests that non-State actors, motivated by a variety of factors including financial gain and ideological beliefs, are playing an increasingly significant role in shaping the course of conflicts around the world.
</blockquote>
Russia’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Yevgeny Uspensky, called for action regarding the issue of international mercenaries operating in Ukraine.
He highlighted that the UN Secretariat has been made aware of statistics revealing the involvement of foreign mercenaries in combat on the side of the Kyiv regime.

Zimbabwean Mercenaries Are Fighting In Ukraine, Claims Russia’s Ministry Of Defence

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group, a private army of mercenaries late on Saturday ordered his fighters to halt their advance to Moscow, Russia’s capital.
The Wagner mercenaries have reportedly left the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, less than 24 hours after seizing it.
Earlier, Prigozhin said he had told his fighters to return to Ukraine to avoid bloodshed.
According to Russian state media reports, Prigozhin will now move to neighbouring Belarus and charges against him and his troops will be dropped. This followed a deal brokered by Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko.
Wagner troops took control of the headquarters of Russia’s Southern Military District in Rostov on Saturday morning after crossing the border from Ukraine where they have been fighting alongside the Russian army.
They then began to advance towards Moscow in a move President Vladimir Putin described as a betrayal and an act of treason.
On Saturday, Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky described the situation in Russia as “complete chaos”. He said in a statement:
<blockquote>
The man from the Kremlin is obviously very afraid and probably hiding somewhere, not showing himself. I am sure that he is no longer in Moscow.
He knows what he is afraid of because he himself created this threat. All evil, all losses, all hatred – it is he who spreads it.
</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66006860">BBC News</a> reported that there were rumours that Putin had fled Moscow after flight tracking showed that two presidential planes had left Moscow on Saturday.
However, his press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said the president was still in the Kremlin.
Peskov also said the arrest warrant for Prigozhin would be dropped and the criminal case against him and his troops would be closed.

Wagner Chief Prigozhin Calls Halt To Moscow Advance, Fighters Leave Rostov

The leader of Russian paramilitary organisation Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin on Tuesday 08 May made a cryptic but profanity-laced comment about those in charge of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/mercenary-chief-makes-cryptic-profane-remark-about-russian-war-leadership-2023-05-09/?rpc=401&amp;">Reuters</a> reported that the remarks risks getting Prigozhin into more trouble with the Kremlin.
“The Kremlin” is the official residence of the President of Russia and has been used as a seat of power for Russian leaders for centuries.
In a long audio complaint about an alleged lack of ammunition for his Wagner fighters in eastern Ukraine, Prigozhin referred to a figure he called “a happy Grandfather” who thought that all was well with the military campaign. He said:
<blockquote>
And the happy grandfather thinks that he is good. If he turns out to be right then may God grant everyone health.
But what will the country do, our children, grandchildren who are the future of Russia, and how can we win this war if – by chance, and I’m just speculating here – it turns out that this grandfather is a complete ****head?
</blockquote>
The identity of the grandfather figure Prigozhin referred to was unclear, but he has previously poured scorn on Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the General Staff.
He has, however, avoided all personal criticism of President Vladimir Putin.
Analysts have said Prigozhin’s volatile outbursts in recent days looks like an attempt to try to deflect blame for a lack of swift battlefield success.
On Friday, he announced that his forces will withdraw from Bakhmut because of the ammunition problem before saying they will stay and then again suggesting they may leave.
In an audio message posted on his Telegram channel on Sunday, Prigozhin said:
<blockquote>
Overnight we received a combat order, for the first time in all this time. We have been promised as much ammunition and weapons as we need to continue further operations.
We have been promised that everything needed to prevent the enemy from cutting us off [from supplies] will be deployed on the flank.
</blockquote>
The battle for Bakhmut has been the most intense of the conflict, costing thousands of lives on both sides in months of grinding warfare.
Russia sees Bakhmut as a stepping stone to capturing other cities in Ukraine’s Donbas region still beyond its control.

Mercenary Chief Criticises Russian War Leadership In Comments Full Of Profanity

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_National_Football_Team" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Warriors</a> have said that they are not driven by the love of money to play for their country.
An unnamed player who spoke to The Herald told the publication that most of them earn good money at their clubs and what really motivates them is to win for Zimbabwe and make the entire nation happy. Said the player:
<blockquote>We are professionals and we have never said that our aim is to make money out of playing for our country, we get some decent salaries at our clubs and this is national service and we are proud to do it because, in life, there are more important things than money and nothing beats making an entire nation feel happy and proud.</blockquote>
The Warriors became infamous during the chaotic 2019 AFCON finals in Egypt, where they reportedly threatened to abandon the tournament several times over unpaid allowances.
Meanwhile, the players have accepted ZIFA’s Z$30 000 (about US$1 500) winning bonus, for the two 2021 AFCON qualifiers against Botswana and Zambia.
