In a video posted by Gulagu to its social media channels, Mr Medvedev said he fled Ukraine in November after being informed that the group intended to extend his contract indefinitely.

After spending two months underground in Russia, he crossed the border into Norway last week.

Mr Risnes said his client had also witnessed a host of war crimes while fighting in Ukraine, including seeing "deserters being executed" by the Wagner Group's internal security service.

"In short he felt betrayed and wanted to leave as soon as possible," Mr Risnes said.

He added that he believed Mr Medvedev had taken some evidence of war crimes with him to Norway and that he intends to share his information with groups investigating war crimes in the coming weeks.

“He was placed in charge of a Wagner division in Ukraine, where the mercenary group supplied him with around 30-40 troops every week, Mr Osechkin said. “

Age 26 - served from July to November - a division commander

I don’t think so. He deserted OK, but he needed a reason to be admitted into another country. Desertion won’t do it, but a witness to torture and abuse will. Certainly his story will spread throughout he western world.

He is only age 26, first JOINED Wagner only 6 months ago.

But this article says he is a battalion commander....

I guess equivalent to Lieutenant Colonel.

You guys believe this?

division and divizion are 2 different things.
Divizion (in artillery) could be as little as 10-11 field artillery pieces.
