Ukraine Intercept: Colombian Mercenaries Ordered to Kill, Driven by Money
Intercepted communications released by Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) allegedly reveal that a commander of a Colombian unit fighting for Russia ordered the execution of civilians, including women and children. The recording, published on October 24, features the commander instructing his unit to open fire on all civilians during poor visibility. According to HUR, this order constitutes a war crime, and the Russian command is aiming to involve foreign mercenaries in such practices. The HUR also noted that the unit has been implicated in the execution of civilians near Pokrovsk.
