More than 20 US citizens have disappeared during the war in Ukraine, and over the past six months the number of US soldiers on the battlefield has increased. This is stated in the CNN .
According to journalists, the bodies of five American volunteers who joined the Armed Forces could not be taken from the battlefield after their death in the last half of the year. At the same time, two of them were recently repatriated by the Ukrainian side from the occupied territory.
"The strict testimony of their surviving colleagues and the growing number of casualties show an incomprehensible but important role in the war in the war, which President Donald Trump called" funny "and pushed Russian President Vladimir Putin to diplomatic completion," the publication emphasized.
In turn, the missing people told CNN that they were painful because they could not bury their sons and officially declare them dead. They also spoke about the suffering that Russian online trolls pursue them on the network.
The publication noted that because of the intensity of hostilities in eastern Ukraine, the corpses of soldiers on both sides often cannot be taken away. In particular, two American volunteers were killed during one of the battles near Pokrovsk at the end of September. It is a 25-year-old former US soldier Zakhari Ford from Missouri and another American without military experience for Hanter's call sign. They died as a result of the drone of the drone during the combat mission near the village of Novogrodivka. Their bodies have never been found.
At the same time, the American on Rednes, who remained alive, said that a group of three volunteers quickly fell into the Russian trap in the trenade about 500 meters from the bridge they had to blow.
"The Russian drones began to go down, trying to break through the shelter," he said.
The military added that the deck from the roof fell and hit it in the face.
"I had a shotgun, I tried to knock down these logs," he continued.
Rednes stressed that the chances for volunteer fighters to survive at the front depend on the level of their experience and the tasks that the brigades put in front of them. He stressed that some officers give the same tasks to both foreigners and Ukrainians, but there are those who will "sell you and kill you as quickly."
Therefore, the fighter accused of the loss of his brigade "a bad officer ... who did not see the difference between everyone. It was meat for a meat grinder, and he just sent everyone who could get. "
“At the moment you can't say that this is not a America's struggle. Critics of war try to say that this is a problem of Ukraine. If we can conclude peace now, we do not have to deal with it. The truth is that this will not stop, ”Rednenek said.
The military added that his unit was evacuated from the area. Later, he saw footage from the drone, which could see the bodies of Ford and Hanter. The territory where they fought is currently under the control of the Russian Federation.
