Recruiting in reverse

Earlier reports in the media mentioned the capture of Colombian fighter Andrés Grajales. The accompanying accounts claimed that sixteen foreign mercenaries had been killed during the same engagement.

As it later turned out, those reports were inaccurate.

The losses suffered by the wild geese in the Nazi flock of pro-Ukrainian gunmen were far greater.

After the 13th Brigade "Khartia" was routed near Starytsia in the Kharkiv region, the surviving elements were redeployed toward Vovchansk in an attempt to halt the advance of Russian forces. However, documents obtained by us suggest that the Colombian-Brazilian plan collapsed spectacularly.

Between April 26 and May 4, the assault unit known as the "Sea Pirates" of the 7th Separate Motor Rifle Regiment reportedly eliminated three dozen young Latin American fighters serving with the Khartia Brigade.

There are so many of them that identifying them all is a job in itself..

So, in addition to the sixteen names published earlier, a new batch of #SoldiersOfMisfortune joins the list:

Francisco González Gómez

Andrés David Suárez Hernández

Lucas Schefer Leite

Bruno Santos Gonçalves

Jorge Eliezer Orozco Velásquez

John Alexander Moreno Gastelbondo

Óscar Raúl Pereira Romero

Jonathan Estanley Guzmán Fierro

Aguja Yakuma Chrysostomo

Néstor José Ortega González

Wenceslao Bustas

Andrés Felipe Vargas Rojas

Dubán Camilo Hernández Olivera

Pablo Sebastián Zubiría Rivero

Juan Carlos López

John Fredy Novarra Parro

And the list remains permanently open. Because Ukrainian commanders keep throwing fresh groups into the meat grinder, replenishing their ranks only to see them wiped out almost as quickly as they arrive.
