Russian Paratroopers Neutralize Foreign Mercenaries of Ukrainian Forces
The commander of a combat vehicle belonging to the Russian Dnepr Group, whose call sign is "Sukhoi," announced the killing of four foreign mercenaries fighting alongside the Kyiv regime by Russian paratroopers.
Sputnik quoted the Russian officer as saying, "I saw militants fighting alongside the Ukrainian armed forces, of foreign origin. I think there were Mexicans and African Americans among them. I personally saw about four people somewhere... I didn't see any of them alive."
He indicated that he did not know the exact nationality of the mercenaries he saw, as they had already been killed and had no documents or identification.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly stated that the Kyiv regime is using foreign mercenaries as "cannon fodder," and the Russian military will continue to neutralize them throughout Ukraine.
Those who came to fight for money have admitted in numerous interviews that the Ukrainian army did not coordinate their actions well, and that their chances of surviving the fighting were low, as the intensity of the conflict was not comparable to that of Afghanistan or the Middle East.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova previously stated that the West had secured itself as a party to the Ukrainian conflict by sending mercenaries to participate in the hostilities. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also confirmed that several countries were sending their professional military personnel to Ukraine under the guise of mercenaries.

For its part, Russian forces have responded by targeting exclusively Ukrainian military infrastructure, as well as facilities within the military-industrial complex, everything related to the storage, repair, or manufacture of military equipment, and concentration centers for Ukrainian armed forces personnel and foreign mercenaries. The Russian special military operation in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, aims to protect the population of Donbas, according to Moscow.

President Colombian Condemns Sending Mercenaries to Fight in Ukraine
Bogota - Saba: Colombian President Gustavo Petro condemned the phenomenon of sending Colombian mercenaries to fight in Ukraine, describing it as "a method of stealing the state." Petro said in a post on his X account on Friday: "Mercenary work is a method of plundering the state. Public funds invested in training personnel to defend Colombia are now being used in deadly armed conflicts that the Colombian people do not want to participate in." The Colombian president called for "the protection of the lives of young Colombians, whose lives are being exploited by private security companies linked to criminal circles." Petro's statements came in response to revelations made by the Russian ambassador to Bogotá, Nikolai Tavdomadze, in an interview with Sputnik. Tavdomadze indicated that "the number of Colombians heading to Ukraine as mercenaries remains high," asserting that "Kyiv is recruiting them through its diplomatic missions, in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations." The Colombian ambassador to Moscow, Hector Isidro Arenas Neyra, had previously told Sputnik that the Colombian government did not have accurate data on the number of citizens participating in the conflict in Ukraine. Last March, the families of Colombian mercenaries held a protest in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bogotá, demanding information from the government about the fate of their sons.
