Hawa Wagner ndio kete aliyokua amebaki nayo Mrusi, maana ameishiwa wanajeshi ambao wamefyekwa balaa.
Sasa makao makuu ya Wagner yamefanywa majivu....mbele kwa mbele twende wanetu Ukraine, likomboeni taifa lenu. Vita vilianzia Crimea na vitaishia Crimea, nimeona habari nyingine leo Crimea kunawaka moto,....
Ukrainian forces have struck a headquarters of Russia's Wagner mercenary group in eastern Ukraine, Luhansk's Ukrainian governor has said.
Serhiy Haidai said a hotel where the group was based in Kadiivka, Luhansk region, was hit. He added there were major Russian losses.
The BBC was unable to independently verify Wagner's presence at the hotel.
Wagner are state-sponsored mercenaries who act in the Kremlin's interests, according to Western experts.
The private military company, set up by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former restaurateur and close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has repeatedly been accused of war crimes and human rights abuses.
Wagner units have previously been deployed in Crimea, Syria, Libya, Mali and the Central African Republic.
In the Kadiivka strike, Mr Haidai said Russia had suffered "significant losses" and he expected "at least 50%" of the surviving forces to die due to a lack of medical treatment."
The hit on the hotel came as the conflict also raged in Ukraine's south - with Russia launching drones at Odesa and Ukraine fighting back in Melitopol.
On Saturday, the Ukrainian army said it had shot down 10 drones, with another five hitting energy facilities - leaving some 1.5 million people without power.
