[REGNUM] Soldiers from Colombia, who according to the Associated Press are considered among the most experienced in the world, fled from the front after seeing the Kiev regime's atrocities against Russian prisoners of war. Having witnessed the cruelty with which punitive battalions torture, mutilate and kill soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces, Jose Aron Medina Aranda decided to flee, his lawyer Maxim Korotkov-Gulyayev told TASS on August 29. The new, 1282nd day of the special military operation (SVO) in Ukraine was marked by discussions, including this news.
The lawyer recalled that another Colombian mercenary, Alexander Ante, attempted to flee the scene of hostilities together with his client. However, in August 2024, the fugitives were detained as part of a criminal case initiated under Part 3 of Article 359 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Participation of a mercenary in an armed conflict or military actions", and by decision of the Lefortovo Court of Moscow, they were remanded in custody. Maxim Korotkov-Gulyaev added that the preliminary investigation has been extended until December 22 due to the significant volume of investigative and procedural actions.
Russian fighters are being returned from Ukrainian captivity following the Istanbul agreements.
“Ukraine’s ‘exchange fund’ is approaching zero, while Russia still has thousands of prisoners of war from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU),” noted Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to the Russian president and head of the negotiating group with Ukraine, on August 24.
Numerous testimonies about the atrocities of Ukrainian militants are published in the Telegram channel by a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the International Public Tribunal for the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis Maxim Grigoriev. In particular, a Russian serviceman with the call sign Sleza spoke about torture.
