service and concealing their casualties, according to a new report.</p> <p>An investigation published by <i>Fontanka</i>, an independent Russian newspaper, found that the Kremlin had hired members of a private military company called Wagner to go to Syria and Ukraine. The use of contractors gives Mr Putin a deniable way of sending trained personnel to both countries.</p> <p>Wagner is believed to have a membership of around 1,000 mercenaries, but officially the group does not exist since Russian law forbids private military companies. But Wagner is registered in Argentina and has a training camp in the Russian village of Molkino – the same village that hosts a training site of the 10th special forces brigade of the GRU military intelligence.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyImage section"> <div class="article-body-image component " itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject" data-frz-ancestor> <div class="component-content"> <figure> <span class="article-body-image-image-container"> <div class="lazy-image article-body-image-image" style="padding-top:62.42%;" data-js="LazyImage" data-src="/web/20180625113449oe_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/Molkino_3603151b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=480" data-srcset="/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/Molkino_3603151b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=480 480w,/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/Molkino_3603151b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=960 960w,/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/Molkino_3603151b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=580 580w,/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/Molkino_3603151b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=1160 1160w,/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/Molkino_3603151b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=620 620w,/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/Molkino_3603151b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=1240 1240w" data-sizes="100vw,(min-width: 480px) 480px,(min-width: 730px) 580px,(min-width: 1008px) 620px" data-alt="Russian mine-resistant armoured vehicles at a training camp near the Russian village of Molkino"> <noscript> <img class="responsive article-body-image-image" src="/web/20180625113449im_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2016/03/30/Molkino_3603151b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg?imwidth=480" alt="Russian mine-resistant armoured vehicles at a training camp near the Russian village of Molkino"> </noscript> </div> </span> <figcaption> <span itemprop="caption" class="article-body-image-caption">Russian mine-resistant armoured vehicles at a training camp near the Russian village of Molkino</span> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="article-body-text component "> <div class="component-content"> <p><span class="m_first-letter m_first-letter--flagged">T</span>he Russian defence ministry has announced the deaths of six servicemen in Syria.
