Four Colombians fighting on the side of the Ukrainian army were killed during shelling in Kurakhovo (Ukrainian army-controlled area) in the Donetsk People's Republic, according to a report by the Russian Satellite News Agency on February 23, citing the words of a family member of the deceased, quoted by the Forward newspaper.
Previously, the Associated Press reported that the mercenaries in Ukraine are mainly from the post-Soviet Union and Western English-speaking countries, and with the prolongation of the war and the shortage of soldiers in the Ukrainian army, the Kyiv regime will begin to recruit Latin Americans in 2023, and they join the Ukrainian army just to make money.
According to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in December 2023, Russian officers and soldiers fought bravely on the battlefield and eliminated 466 American soldiers, 344 British soldiers, 1,427 Polish soldiers, as well as mercenaries of German, French and other nationalities hired by Ukraine, and the total number of foreign mercenaries eliminated by the Russian army exceeded 5,800.
In mid-January 2023, the Ministry of Defense released a message saying that the Russian army used precision strikes to destroy a building in Kharkiv, killing more than 60 French mercenaries on the spot and wounding more than 20 others.
French mercenaries hiding in Kharkiv buildings were bombed.
International mercenaries in Ukraine.
It's very dangerous to be a mercenary in Ukraine, it's working with your head, and it's not worth it how much money you make.
