Wagnerist.

This is coolbert:

From the frying pan into the fire? Ukrainian style?

"The phrase out of the frying pan into the fire is used to describe the situation of moving or getting from a bad or difficult situation to a worse one, often as the result of trying to escape from the bad or difficult one."

Wagnerist = Russian combatants belonging to the Wagner Group.

"Security Service of Ukraine questioned Russian who tried to save the cruiser Moskva and then joined the infantry"

From Ukrayinska Pravda June 29, 2022  OLENA ROSHCHINA — [Ukrainian Truth] source SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) the tip from yahoo.com

"The Security Service of Ukraine has questioned a Russian sailor who, after an unsuccessful effort to save the cruiser Moskva, joined the infantry and was taken prisoner."

RUSSIAN SAILOR [UNIDENTIFIED] NOW A CAPTIVE OF THE UKRAINIAN. RUSSIAN SAILOR A CREW MEMBER OF THE NOW AT-THE-BOTTOM MOSKVA BUT RESCUED AND TOLD TO RETURN TO SEA DUTY. RUSSIAN SAILOR REFUSING SEA DUTY BUT NOT ABOVE PARTICIPATING IN FURTHER COMBAT AS AN INFANTRYMAN! 

Details: The Russian sailor participated in an attempt to save the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in April. He subsequently joined the infantry, so as not to die in the middle of the sea.

Quote: "After [crew of the sunken Moskva] we returned from the rescue of the Moskva, we were given two choices: either go to sea, or join the infantry. I had seen enough of what was on the Moskva, and I didn't want to die in the middle of the sea – it's very scary. So I refused: I wrote a report that I agreed with the special operation in Ukraine."

Sailor captured fighting as an infantryman with the Wagner Group Russian mercenary cut-throat elite! This young man is very lucky to still be alive! I wish him a long and happy life in the aftermath of the war. Whenever that will be!

Some will question obviously the veracity of the Ukrainian SBU in such matters. I post without passing yea or nay judgment!
