After more than three and a half years since Vladimir Putin against Ukraine, combat on the battlefield, as well as talks to reach a ceasefire, have stalled. The few advances on the front are also joined by practices that increasingly point to “war crimes”.
Throughout these years it has been documented on several occasions, but the majority of the documented cases referred to ex-military or retired police officers They had enlisted with the Ukrainian troops. Now, new information has denounced the actions of Colombian mercenaries in the Russian forces, as published .
“Colombian mercenaries recruited by Russia to fight against Ukraine have been ordered to kill civilians to make them accomplices in crimes against the civilian population,” they have noted in the specialized media, which has been reporting every step on the battlefield since the beginning of the “special military operation” launched by Putin.
According to this information, Ukraine recorded a war crime committed by Colombian mercenaries fighting against kyiv as part of the 30th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, which belongs to the 2nd Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District of Russia. This is what they deduce from an intercepted conversation in which one of the field commanders issues an order in Spanish to execute Ukrainian civilians, including women and children.
“When there is fog, fog, so that they are not identified, they should eliminate all the people on the enemy side. On motorcycles, on bicycles, women and children, women and children,” is heard in the recording.
The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine (GUR) maintains that this is a real order issued in combat and assures that these practices are “instigated by Russian commanders” on the Eastern Front. No Russian authority has yet officially commented on this information.
The GUR statement, which the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform has also reported, marks the first time that direct signals from Colombians in Russian units have been reported.
