00:01:00Four settlements were liberated by Russian military in the special operation zone in the Kharkiv
00:01:04region, Reznikovo Kupina was taken under control.
00:01:06Progress is being made in the DPR, where the center's
00:01:10fighters liberated Novotroitske and
00:01:13Petrovskoe. Also, the clearing of the western blocks
00:01:16of Dobropolye and the territory of the eponymous mine continues. During the day,
00:01:20137 buildings were liberated, including three industrial
00:01:24facilities. In Kyiv, emergency power
00:01:27outages are the result of our military's work on energy facilities in the
00:01:31Ukrainian capital and region. In addition, warehouses of industrial
00:01:35enterprises were hit, a strong fire broke out on the site, thick smoke
00:01:39can be seen for several kilometers. In the Odessa region,
00:01:42in addition to port infrastructure and ships, the Data Center
00:01:45TNet was attacked. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The AFU used
00:01:48it to process, transmit and store information. In the Kharkiv
00:01:52region, after an airstrike, an ammunition depot detonated for more than
00:01:563 hours. In addition, arrivals were recorded in Kirovograd,
00:02:00Chernigov and Nikolaev regions.
00:02:04The head of the Kyiv regime is not capable of thoughtful actions, said
00:02:07Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov. He added
00:02:11that Zelensky could already now demonstrate a propensity for peaceful
00:02:15negotiations, but instead he continues to take aggressive
00:02:19actions against Russia. Peskov stressed that such a policy
00:02:22is erroneous and that Ukraine has to pay dearly for it.
00:02:25Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that
00:02:29an independent new leader was needed. Anna
00:02:32Voronina will continue the topic.
00:02:39Yesterday hysteria, today panic. In Kyiv, they clearly did not
00:02:42expect such a statement from Donald
00:02:44Trump.
00:02:49I think they should find a new leader who can make a
00:02:53deal. Because he could have resolved the conflict many times, but for some
00:02:57reason he didn't. We lost 30% of the country. Over
00:03:00a million people died in your country, and I think it's time for Ukraine
00:03:03to find a new president. And Donald Trump is not
00:03:06alone in his judgment. The same opinion was expressed by billionaire Elon Musk, whose
00:03:10Starlink satellites are used by the AFU, and General Michael
00:03:13Flynn, who responded to criticism of the diesel deal by a former
00:03:17colleague. You still don't understand, Mike, and you never
00:03:21will. Donald Trump is focused on
00:03:24ending a war that should never
00:03:27have started, while you, and the same.
00:03:45Trump's hypocrites, in Ukraine there have been no presidential elections since
00:03:482019, billions of US dollars sent
00:03:52there under the previous administration. The war must
00:03:55end, and Zelensky must listen to what the US
00:03:58President says. Proposal. Consequences of anti-Russian
00:04:06sanctions
00:04:10again call for a constructive dialogue with Russia for the sake of the
00:04:13citizens of their own countries.
00:04:16America defends national interests, and we in the European Union impose
00:04:20sanctions and embargoes. We moralize, pay huge
00:04:24money for diesel fuel and tremble with fear whether
00:04:27there will be enough. Soon, at EU gas stations, we will fill up with expensive
00:04:30American diesel of Russian origin, but not everyone
00:04:34shares this opinion, in pursuit of political ambitions and power in the
00:04:37European Union, they suddenly remembered the principles
00:04:40of democracy.
00:04:43It is certainly not for Donald Trump to dictate the electoral calendar
00:04:46of a sovereign state, which Ukraine is. In Estonia,
00:04:50they even proposed to increase assistance to Ukraine as quickly as possible so that it could
00:04:54continue to strike Russian oil refineries in order to somehow
00:04:58spite Washington.
00:05:03The agreement between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump broke the chain
00:05:06of sanctions against Moscow, said former Serbian President
00:05:10Aleksandar Vučić, he addressed his supporters live
00:05:14through
00:05:14social networks.
00:05:19The Trump-Putin agreement clearly changes the situation in the
00:05:22world in many ways. Americans thus broke the chain of sanctions
00:05:26imposed against the Russian Federation. Trump shows
00:05:29himself to be a pragmatic, practical person who wants to solve
00:05:33his own problems and get cheap diesel fuel to
00:05:37lower the price of a gallon of diesel. For Russia,
00:05:39it is extremely important that this agreement takes place.
00:06:26The Houthis promise to continue attacks, how long can their
00:06:29resources last for new attacks on Saudi Arabia, how will the
00:06:33kingdom respond, Natalya Goncharova will tell.
00:06:37This is what Riyadh airport looks like after the attack by Yemeni
00:06:40Houthis.
00:06:47Saudi Arabia, with the exception of the holy places of Mecca and Medina,
00:06:51is now unsafe. Houthi armed forces again
00:06:55warn all airlines and
00:06:57travelers about the danger of using Saudi
00:07:00airports and airspace. The Houthis note that
00:07:04they plan to continue attacks on the most important objects
00:07:07of the kingdom, oil companies and
00:07:10airports. As can be seen on... the Ansarallah missile
00:07:13covered 900 km. Experts note
00:07:17that the Houthis will have enough resources for a long continuation
00:07:20of attacks. Everything depends on the intensity of the attacks
00:07:23of the movements, that is, the Houthis, that is, how intensely they will
00:07:27conduct them, because, as I understand it,
00:07:30the Houthis are capable of replenishing their ballistic missiles,
00:07:34drones, they have their own production where
00:07:37they assemble these types of weapons from parts that
00:07:41are supplied to them through various smuggling
00:07:45routes, and partially they can even produce them themselves,
00:07:48yes, so
00:07:51their capabilities are quite large, they can last
00:07:54for years, yes, that is, neither Americans nor Saudis
00:07:58could destroy these secret
00:08:01hidden, yes, so to speak, production bases
00:08:04of missiles and drones, where they assemble them, Riyadh promised
00:08:08to respond to the Ansar Allah forces, within the framework of the Mikan agreement between.
00:09:12under their banners gathered a real criminal international of
00:09:15mercenaries, they are called soldiers of fortune, citizens of dozens

00:13:14automatically. Fire. Let's set a new
00:13:16goal. Gigachat. For you everything
00:13:20is simple.
00:13:49Hey boys, where are
00:13:51we
00:13:54baby? They are soldiers of fortune, wild geese, dogs
00:13:57of war, as they are not called, in other words,
00:14:00mercenaries,
00:14:08Poles, French, Brazilians, who was not there,
00:14:11everyone was there, Poles, French
00:14:14were there,
00:14:17and blacks, we saw, were also found
00:14:21citizens of Great Britain, USA, Brazil.
00:15:38Heroes of Ukraine.
00:16:00Who are they, why do they travel thousands of kilometers for someone else's war, what
00:16:04crimes do they commit and what does such
00:16:08bloody tourism turn into? Our new film about foreign mercenaries,
00:16:11the most despised category of fighters, no one likes them,
00:16:15not even those on whose side they are.
00:16:47Since the beginning of the special military operation, more than 900 mercenaries fighting on the
00:16:51side of the AFU have been in the combat zone, my Georgian
00:16:55brother, we sincerely greet you.
00:17:10After the start of the special military operation, the main investigative
00:17:13department of the Investigative Committee of Russia opened
00:17:17a criminal case on the recruitment and participation of mercenaries in
00:17:20hostilities, a special investigative group was created for the investigation,
00:17:24it included the most experienced investigators of the central
00:17:27apparatus of the department, interagency interaction with operational
00:17:31and intelligence agencies was organized. Criminologists and
00:17:34experts from the department were involved in the investigative work,
00:17:37the problem of mercenarism and the formation
00:17:41of the Kyiv regime, it has existed for a very long time, it is
00:17:44a mistake to think that all this appeared only in twenty-two, the first
00:17:48time it manifested itself with such, they usually say a double flower, in
00:17:52this case an orange flower comes from the same orange
00:17:55revolution, when under the guise of protesters
00:17:59it was precisely recruited, well-prepared,
00:18:02then the events of the thirteenth and fourteenth
00:18:06year, of course... said that
00:18:08these were no longer isolated cases and
00:18:12not even dozens, and not
00:18:15hundreds. These people were trained on the territory
00:18:18of countries, primarily, such as
00:18:21Poland, and of course, the Baltic states, and they were trained
00:18:25there in special camps, trained for street
00:18:28fighting, they all were then surprised when they realized
00:18:32where they had ended up, the real war was not like what
00:18:35they had been taught. My God, that grenade
00:18:39that fell on me there would have turned me into shit,
00:18:43but thank God it only hit my
00:18:46arm and
00:18:48leg.
00:18:54they tried to come to us yesterday, but they
00:18:57didn't quite succeed, what
00:19:00prevented him from staying home, we are working, brothers, at best
00:19:04mercenaries return home in an urn with ashes,
00:20:07I probably wouldn't want to say that, there were
00:20:09Georgians, these chilling details are shared by
00:20:13Nikolai Rylsky, he is from Sudzha, has lived in Moscow
00:20:17for almost 40 years, when trouble came to his parents' home, he returned to save
00:20:20his family, there he learned how hospitable European guests
00:20:23can be, welcome to
00:20:26concept, another comrade said that when
00:20:29they left Sudzha with his wife in a car, they were stopped,
00:20:33thrown out of the car by Ukrainian soldiers, when the shooting started...
00:20:38They said, they say, through the forest
00:20:42there quickly, that is, through the green zone,
00:20:45yes, they let them run away, and warned, they say, if you don't
00:20:48leave here now, they say. The Poles are coming after us, they say, they won't
00:20:52let you go.
00:20:56We are heading to the Kursk region to hear the stories of civilians
00:21:00who suffered as a result of the attack by the
00:21:04militants on the border,
00:21:06civilians, witnesses of atrocities and
00:21:09brutality committed by Ukrainian militants, among
00:21:12them foreign mercenaries, it is known that among
00:21:16them were citizens of Germany, France, Poland
00:21:19and... Georgia, representatives
00:21:21of the USA, uh, Malta,
00:21:25Paraguay, Colombia,
00:21:29uh, well, and the same CIS countries,
00:21:31Armenia, Georgia, Uzbekistan.
00:21:35Узбекистана.
00:21:38Uh, yes, a fairly large geography, a fairly
00:21:41large, extensive, so to speak, a large number
00:21:44of participants are involved in this conflict. Investigator
00:21:48of the GSU SK Russia. Together with his colleagues, he has been collecting
00:21:52evidence of the crimes of Ukrainian militants and their
00:21:55foreign accomplices for several months. The number of people
00:21:58who took part in the Kursk region,
00:22:01about whom we have already collected
00:22:04evidence, sent these criminal cases to court, the number is
00:22:0728. The region was liberated more than a year ago, but the work
00:22:11of investigators did not stop. The main task is to identify
00:22:15and punish those involved in the attack.
00:22:17We arrived at the temporary accommodation point
00:23:03to find witnesses, victims, incidentally, there are still several
00:23:07temporary accommodation points in Kursk, this one, for example, is located on the territory
00:23:10of a sports and recreation complex, here all the necessary
00:23:13conditions for living are provided, three meals a day and, of course,
00:23:17humanitarian aid. To relive it again and again,
00:23:50relatives, loved ones,
00:23:53because many, of course, lost everything, home, blood,
00:23:59and to talk about it
00:24:02on camera, to remember again, to relive this pain, to reopen
00:24:06wounds that have not yet healed completely,
00:24:09they don't want to, of course,
00:24:12so not everyone is ready to communicate
00:24:15on camera and share their.
00:24:19murders,
00:24:25violence committed against local
00:24:29residents who were absolutely,
00:24:32well, peaceful residents, not involved in the
00:24:36conflict, who were not
00:24:39military personnel, that is,
00:24:41those people whose interests were protected
00:24:45not only by Russian norms, but also by international...
00:24:49economy, and we had guys there, well,
00:25:20maybe two people, we didn't know, we saw it later
00:25:24when they climbed onto the roof of the school,
00:25:27broke it, installed a machine gun there, it turns out, well, we understood that later,
00:25:31and the machine gun, well, they installed a machine gun there, they swore,
00:25:35our guys started climbing on them, shouting, screaming, only
00:25:38machine gun fire, dr dr, well, they were just shot
00:25:42at that time, because they climbed to them, but I understood that
00:25:45well, these were not the Ukrainians themselves, no, the first mercenary
00:25:49brigade that went there, they are
00:25:53wild
00:25:53animals.
00:27:04Shocking footage 2022, Kyiv
00:27:07region, brutal murder of Russian prisoners of war, tied
00:27:10paratroopers had their throats cut, and then the whole company of sadists
00:27:13watched, those who were still clinging to life were finished off
00:27:17with shots to the head, you Russian soldiers, I'm telling you about
00:27:20the Georgian Legion, now we will not take Russian soldiers
00:27:24prisoner under any circumstances, just like Kadyrovites, not a single person
00:27:27will be taken prisoner, and this is the founder of the gang of
00:27:30thugs, Vulashi. He recruited fellow countrymen into the Georgian
00:27:34national legion of the AFU after Euromaidan. Everything was
00:27:37legal, the then authorities of Georgia officially allowed their
00:27:41citizens to fight on the side of Ukraine. For me this is not new, this
00:27:45is a purely idealistic war for us. There are my
00:27:48comrades who basically think the same, and for us this is our war, it is not
00:27:52a foreign war. Mamulashvili fought since childhood, at 14 years old
00:27:56the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict, then the first Chechen war, his
00:27:59national legion he openly called the heir of another. also
00:28:03Georgian, which existed during World War II, the favorites
00:28:06of the Wehrmacht.
00:28:16The lust for violence is a family affair, in social networks Mamulashvili found
00:28:19a photograph from an old issue of Ogonyok magazine. It shows Kikias
00:28:23Mamulashvili nicknamed "Caucasian Robber". Caption
00:28:27"Great-great-grandfather". Thief and terrorist. In
00:28:301914 he was shot during...
00:29:32special methods, for example, it was
00:29:35Mossad officers who trained officers of the Dnipro Battalion,
00:29:39in illegal methods of interrogation, roughly speaking, torture. Over
00:29:42time, the country became a large training base for radicals,
00:29:45the number of camps with mercenaries was envied even by ISIS members. Again,
00:29:49they didn't look at me as one of their own, a person who
00:29:53needed to be protected, roughly
00:29:55speaking, where there was some
00:29:59very bad situation, who should we send, come on.

00:34:11Torbeyevsky Central in Mordovia, here Ukrainian
00:34:34mercenary, Georgian citizen, Mamuka Gatsarelya, is serving his sentence
00:34:37for the crimes he committed, namely the execution of Russian servicemen.
00:34:41He was sentenced to life imprisonment, incidentally, he is the youngest among
00:34:45prisoners with such a sentence. He is
00:34:4824 years old, he arrived in Ukraine in March
00:34:512022. Then at the interview in the international
00:34:54legion, he almost got rejected, allegedly too
00:34:57young, short, without combat experience, only contract service
00:35:00in Georgia. After which I decided to join the
00:35:04Georgian National Legion of Kwamu Kalashlashvili. I
00:35:07called him, he explained to me, just get there.
00:35:11a couple of hours later we moved
00:35:18from Lviv to Kyiv. Then one disappointment
00:35:25after another, but there was no turning back. I didn't like
00:35:28the situation inside the Georgian Legion, I decided to leave
00:35:32it. What situation? Firstly, then with equipment it was very
00:35:35bad, secondly,
00:35:39relations, many such people
00:35:41who, how can I say, went for
00:35:45no clear reason, that is, if excuse me, a person says, that is,
00:35:49I go for money, I go for an idea, I go for this, I go for that, that is, it's
00:35:53understandable, but someone says, I go for an idea, but I would like
00:35:56to earn some money, that's how Gatsarelia ended up under the wing of the
00:36:00Main Intelligence Directorate, from Kyiv to Dnipro, from there straight to
00:36:04Mariupol, a group of thirteen people, Mamuka is the only
00:36:07mercenary among them, the task is to escort a helicopter,
00:36:10they landed, he and four others, took positions.
00:36:13he already, that is,
00:36:28thought that he would cope, and he already wanted, well, like, suggested,
00:36:31let's just run away, desert
00:36:35suggested, so why didn't they support him?
00:36:38How can I tell you, not
00:36:41for bribes, not like a man, like not
00:36:45a man, artillery worked, then our infantry
00:36:48went into action, well, I was just in position,
00:36:51noticed that a reconnaissance group, four
00:36:55people are coming towards us, the first person... with a light
00:36:58machine gun RPK, then these three they
00:37:01with AK74 weapons,
00:37:05well, and what I said through the radio, they told me to
00:37:08open fire, I fired three
00:37:11short bursts from the automatic rifle, killed three,
00:37:15one retreated, well, and how do you feel after you
00:37:19shot him? Honestly, I felt nothing, I myself, roughly speaking, did not
00:37:22expect that I would do this so
00:37:25coldly. Coldly, cynically, without
00:37:28remorse, he felt sorry for himself, I am a simple soldier,
00:37:32soldiers also disappear there, well, that is, they are taken prisoner, then I am worth
00:37:36nothing, for some reason they don't need me and in no plans, that
00:37:39is, they don't want to help me, roughly speaking, well, my
00:37:42parents, I hoped that Zelensky would not
00:37:45be deceived, he surrendered to captivity at Azovstal after sitting
00:37:49in a bunker with a group of other militants, this moment really
00:37:52infuriated me when I found out that the Azovstal
00:37:56plant was located...
00:38:39Mamuka did not receive a single kopeck, nor did his
00:38:42parents receive any money, that is, they should to get something else for you, well,
00:38:46yes, I'm a contract soldier,
00:38:49that is, under the same conditions as any
00:38:52other Ukrainian soldier, but your parents don't receive
00:38:56any payments from Ukraine... No, I regret letting
00:39:00my mother down, my
00:39:02parents,
00:39:04my younger brother, who begged me
00:39:08not to go. I asked them to write
00:39:12from the embassy, to ask for something, so that they
00:39:15would help you, at least with something. The answer was,
00:39:18he is not a citizen of Ukraine,
00:39:21that's it. Speaking of embassies, it was diplomats who recruited
00:39:25Gatsarelia, and so he ended up in Ukraine. The first thing
00:39:28I did was visit the embassy
00:39:32of Ukraine, Georgia in Tbilisi, or wherever in Tbilisi,
00:39:36yes, I talked to this consul, he
00:39:39explained to me how to proceed, gave me a
00:39:41phone number, a curator, gave me
00:39:44a letter, like permission,
00:39:48so that they wouldn't stop me
00:39:50at the border,
00:39:54one of the ways for foreign mercenaries to end up.
00:40:37I want to say that contrary to all norms of international law, contrary to the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations, recruitment was carried out, including through the websites of embassies,
00:40:40consulates general, and permanent missions of Ukraine
00:40:44abroad. Russia reacted to this, sent
00:40:47corresponding notes of protest and worked with the authorities of the host
00:40:50countries to ensure that this was minimized
00:40:54and brought to naught. There are exceptions. Austria is one
00:40:58of them. After the scandal in Vienna, the Ukrainian embassy deleted all
00:41:02appeals to citizens from social networks. The same cannot be said about Finland? Instructions for those who
00:41:06want to fight in Ukraine are published on the website
00:41:08of the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The main thing that the country's
00:41:12authorities recommend is to settle all affairs in case the return from the battlefield
00:41:15is delayed, or if the mercenary does not return at all. At the same time,
00:41:19Finnish officials clarify that mercenary activity in the Ukrainian
00:41:23army is not considered a crime, but helping wounded
00:41:26compatriots is not.
00:41:36websites of the embassies of Ukraine in Belgium, Greece, Latvia and Lithuania.
00:41:40such stars, who were mercenaries operating on our
00:41:43territory, that is, we
00:41:46didn't have such a thing, Afghan war veteran Yuri Sukhorukov says
00:41:50directly: today's militants are more terrible than mujahideen, Ukrainian
00:41:54invaders razed his native village to the ground, and with them, on
00:41:57the border, brigades of mercenaries advanced. The first assault group,
00:42:01which entered from Suzhan, they were all mercenaries, mostly mercenaries
00:42:04go, they indiscriminately, that is, they shell, they know there are
00:42:08civilians sitting there, the village...
00:42:20indiscriminately, whether it was a woman or not, they shot everyone in a row, the neighboring village of Kurilovka,
00:42:23Kolya Kuznetsov, I know you well, we were friends with him, he
00:42:26is a resident of Kurilovka, already under occupation, he went with
00:42:29a bucket of water to get some, he ran into
00:42:33mercenaries,
00:42:36he was with a bucket, he just came to the column to get some water, and that's it...
00:42:40a shot in the eye,
00:42:43how can this be explained, this is simply
00:42:47inhuman. The investigation has obtained data on the participation in combat
00:42:50operations on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as mercenaries,
00:42:54more than 16 thousand foreigners, these are citizens
00:42:58of seventy states, including the USA, Canada,
00:43:02Great Britain, France, other countries of Western Europe,
00:43:06Georgia, Poland and the Baltics, countries of Latin
00:43:09America. Many of them are ardent Russophobes, this is what
00:43:12they are based on, for example, the Latvian mercenary Krist Ansans, he
00:43:16speaks without hesitation about his hatred for Russians, he tells
00:43:18journalists.
00:43:21I drive around Latvia, I see cars with Russian license plates, everything inside
00:43:25me is just boiling. This confession sounds more like the words of a person with
00:43:28clear mental deviations, however, among
00:43:31mercenaries there are many who openly profess Satanism, the cult
00:43:35of violence and
00:43:35death.
00:44:10we really need your help, because we don't have enough money to
00:44:14collect for four more pickups. The story of this
00:44:17Baltic ended differently: in 2022
00:44:20fifty-six-year-old Uldis Volmārs joined the international
00:44:24legion, wounded his leg in battle, they couldn't help him in Ukraine, he had
00:44:28to go home, but no miracle happened there either, after the operation
00:44:31gangrene began, his leg was amputated, then complications
00:44:35spread to the second, and it was also amputated. In his
00:44:38troubles, Volmers blames...
00:46:33he has his own Ukrainian soldiers, and here he has an attached unit of some foreigners, who, by the way, receive salaries several times higher than his soldiers, who will he cherish more, he will certainly
00:46:37cherish his own more, and these foreign...
00:46:42special story: mercenaries from Latin America, descendants of
00:46:46Bolívar, adventurers whom hardly anyone can
00:46:50be proud of. The second type, which
00:46:53is more widespread, are immigrants
00:46:56from countries with lower incomes,
00:46:59such as Colombia, Venezuela. These citizens
00:47:03come directly with the goal of earning
00:47:06easy money, and these people are often
00:47:10typical losers who failed
00:47:13to build a career,
00:47:16build a business. Let's get acquainted, instead of favelas, he now
00:47:20lives in a much more known place. Vladimir Central was built
00:47:24in the distant year 1783 by
00:47:27order of Empress Catherine II. Largely thanks to
00:47:30Mikhail Krug's song of the same name, this prison became one
00:47:33of the most famous in Russia. Even those who had never
00:47:37been interested in the criminal life
00:47:39of the country knew about it.
00:47:43And this is exactly the case when there is a lot of evil. Especially
00:47:46dangerous criminals are kept here. And they serve their sentences without a heavy burden on
00:47:50their hearts.
00:47:55At different times, one of the most famous performers of Russian folk songs, Lidiya Ruslanova,
00:47:59Joseph Stalin's son Vasily,
00:48:03hundreds of thieves in
00:48:03law,
00:48:08saw the Vladimirka, a pleiad of war criminals, generals
00:48:12of the Wehrmacht, Abwehr intelligence officers, Hitler's
00:48:15personal guard. Today, one of the cells has a place for a war criminal
00:48:19of our days.
00:50:22to leave. Borges was offered to move from Uzhgorod to
00:50:26Sumy region, allegedly for better conditions. Pablo
00:50:29agreed, signed a contract there and began serving in the 47th
00:50:32brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian military assured that minimal
00:50:36first aid knowledge was sufficient. After signing
00:50:39the contract, the mercenaries were sent to a training
00:50:42center. The training lasted only 2 days, we
00:50:45were not really taught anything. No
00:50:49training was conducted. When the front needs it.
00:50:53the number of days spent on
00:50:57training this mercenary decreases proportionally, that
00:51:00is, if there is a general basic training course,
00:51:04which takes an average of 2 weeks, the most averaged minimum, which
00:51:08is currently applied in Ukraine to mercenaries, is 2
00:51:11weeks. When the front's need for
00:51:15human resources is very high,
00:51:19then this period is reduced to a week.
00:51:22what can a person be taught in a week
00:51:26who has no combat experience? In January 25, an order was received to evacuate
00:51:30the wounded from the combat zone. Pablo, with other mercenaries from Chile and
00:51:34Colombia, under the supervision of Ukrainian militants, loaded into a Bradley
00:51:37BMP and went towards Kursk
00:51:39region.
00:51:42They took our phones, they didn't show us a map and didn't tell us that we were going to the territory
00:51:45of the Russian Federation. They told me I needed to get the wounded out. Almost
00:51:49immediately the group came under fire, several were wounded. Pablo himself
00:51:53suffered a concussion, the mercenaries were immediately abandoned, without communication and
00:51:56transport, the Colombian wandered through the forest for several
00:51:59days.
00:52:01While I was wandering through the forest, I stumbled upon a group of soldiers, if. no
00:52:24equipment, he had to be saved from starvation
00:52:27himself,
00:52:29they treated me well, fed me, offered me coffee, even took me to the bathhouse,
00:52:32it would be a sin if I... said that the Russians treated me badly
00:52:36in captivity. In
00:52:39Colombia, Pablo has two children, a wife, and parents. He didn't
00:52:42tell them where he was going, saying he was going to earn money. They still don't
00:52:46know if he's alive or not. The mercenary was given 28 years in prison,
00:52:49he is now 34, he will be released as an old man, if
00:52:53he lives that long. I regret leaving Colombia,
00:52:57not listening to my son, going to Ukraine. I
00:53:01miss my family every day. I try to remember the faces of my
00:53:04children every day, so I don't forget them
00:53:07completely. What happened to Borges is far from the worst that happens to
00:53:10mercenaries, this is
00:53:12already better.
00:53:21much better than
00:53:22this.
00:53:29death is the most common outcome, among the killed
00:53:32mercenaries are the majority.
00:54:05compatriots from traveling to Ukraine. This spring, the previous
00:54:08president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, signed a law on accession to
00:54:12the convention on combating mercenary activities.
00:54:167.0 Colombians are fighting in a foreign war and senselessly dying in
00:54:19Ukraine. We do not want to export death. Mercenarism
00:54:23is forbidden by law. However, there are also many opponents
00:54:27of the law. Ukrainian authorities are unhappy, Latin American
00:54:31recruiters, for them this is a large-scale business, well
00:54:34organized. The fact is that since about
00:54:372024, from the moment when unmanned aviation began
00:54:41to play a colossal role, Latin American
00:54:44mercenaries go to Ukraine not
00:54:46on their own, but many go there by
00:54:50- order, roughly speaking, drug cartels, cartels, yes,
00:54:54these are Colombian, and Mexican cartels, these are Peruvian,
00:54:57Ecuadorian drug structures that send
00:55:01their citizens to Ukraine with the task of obtaining.
00:55:05combat experience in modern warfare, including combat experience
00:55:08in using drones. And now Mexican cartels
00:55:12are sticking Ukrainian flags on their cars. This is a distinctive
00:55:15sign, a signal to everyone. The fighters of the group fought in the ranks
00:55:19of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, gained combat experience and are ready to kill. From that,
00:55:22recruiting websites for foreigners are full of bright videos and
00:55:26photos with happy faces of mercenaries. Ordinary
00:55:29marketing, such are the realities. Beautiful
00:55:32pictures are placed, and guys.
00:55:35uh, so, in tactical uniform, in
00:55:39beautifully equipped, with beautiful body armor
00:55:42with huge rifles,
00:55:46which creates in a simple
00:55:48inhabitant a desire to try their luck
00:55:52in this conflict, which is what we see when
00:55:55a large number of people
00:55:59who had never before participated, had no
00:56:02education, no
00:56:05skills or abilities acquired
00:56:09during conscription in their own countries, are attracted to this topic. All this against
00:56:12the background of blatant chaos and talk of corruption among the mercenaries
00:56:16themselves. In the same Georgian region, scandals regularly erupt
00:56:20around commanders appropriating donations and laundering money
00:56:23from subscribers. A separate topic is payments to the families of the deceased. If
00:56:27the Kyiv regime does not fulfill its promises even
00:56:31to its own citizens, despite everything. What do
00:56:34you think? Will they stand on ceremony with those
00:56:37who were transferred through Poland from the African
00:56:40continent, from Asia, Latin America? The answer is obvious, of course
00:56:44not, there are so many loopholes, the simplest
00:56:47is when a deceased mercenary is not
00:56:51declared deceased, he continues to receive
00:56:54payments, and this money is simply appropriated by the commanders, well, roughly
00:56:58speaking, someone signs for him on the payroll, that's all, but
00:57:01most often this is done.
00:57:04The leader of the group of mercenaries, who
00:57:08forges signatures in Spanish and gets his kickback for
00:57:12it. So it turns out that behind the beautiful slogans about freedom,
00:57:15struggle, brotherhood, is a common
00:57:18trade in human lives, especially foreign ones, as we
00:57:21found out, it's very profitable, the main question is who and how much
00:57:24earns from this war, it seems that this best
00:57:28explains what is happening on the other side of the front.
