4 Three American mercenaries with 'USA flag in backpack' killed in Ukraine - Russian media
quote:
Unconfirmed reports from Russian media claim that three American mercenaries have been killed in a Kremlin-backed breakaway region of Ukraine — with soldiers said to have 'found a US flag'
quote:
Sergey Lavrov, Russia's Foreign Minister, said last week that western powers sending mercenaries and military equipment to aid Ukraine would be a "catastrophic development".
And Vladimir Putin warned nations at the beginning of his 'special military operation' that any attempt to "interfere" in the war between his country and Ukraine would result in “consequences greater than any you have faced in history”.
Russia have themselves been accused of using mercenaries during the war, with soldiers hired from the Wagner Group allegedly sent on several missions to assassinate Ukrainian president Volodomir Zelensky.
quote:
Russian media has claimed three American mercenaries have been killed in Ukraine. Unconfirmed reports from Pravda, a news website with connections to the Kremlin and a pro-Putin stance, reported on Friday afternoon that the three men from US had died in the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic.
A statement from a militia in Donetsk on the American mercenaries said: “In a backpack near the remains of one of the militants, a Tennessee flag of the United States was found, as well as other items that made it possible to identify the deceased”
The claims of hired soldiers being used could signal a major new escalation should Russia decide to present them as evidence of foreign military involvement in the conflict.
quote:
Defence minister Sergei Shoigu also claimed there were around 16,000 volunteers from the Middle East, including Syria, who were ready to support Russian separatists in the Donbass region
Responding to the claims said: "If you see that there are these people who want of their own accord, not for money, to come to help the people living in Donbas, then we need to give them what they want and help them get to the conflict zone."

on 3/18/22 at 1:03 pm to CommieHaterUSA says they are alive and weren’t there...
Edit, my bad didn’t realized they changed the story to say mercenaries
Contrary to Russian media reports, 3 Tennessee Guardsmen were not killed in Ukraine

quote:
The National Guard Bureau is refuting claims that Tennessee National Guard members were killed in Ukraine, rebuking what officials called a “patently false” Russian media report. Russian media outlet Pravda reported that three members of the Tennessee National Guard died while fighting in Ukraine, calling the men “mercenaries,” and even listing names for those they claimed died.
quote:
The three soldiers identified in the article are either current or former members of the Tennessee National Guard,” the NGB statement reads. “They are accounted for, safe and not, as the article headline erroneously states, US mercenaries killed in Donetsk People’s Republic.” NGB’s statement also accused Russian media of targeting the individuals because of articles from 2018 carried on the Pentagon website DVIDS. Photos were taken of the troops at the time because they were deployed as part of the Multinational Training Group-Ukraine under the Tennessee Guard’s 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment. More than 200 soldiers assisted the Ukrainian armed forces during the 2018 mission. While there, they helped with the development of cadre, ranges and training areas; equipment and instrumentation requirements, and a realistic operational training environment.

Nope. These were guys who were known to be in that region in the past.

Open Letter to Putin:
Hey ahole they are called " soldiers of fortune" and have been around for thousands of years hoeing their weapons and ability for money.
They are not part of the National Guard you Pussy Poisoning Putin.

They aren’t us military. They are mercenaries and a part of the military that is paying them
Foreign fighters in a domestic military, not foreign military involvement

on 3/18/22 at 1:52 pm to DingLeeBerryImpossible to know what's going on in Ukraine. Even after the conflict... we'll never know what happened. No matter who wins. Because the winners get to write what happened.
