Russian authorities have detained two Colombian men suspected of fighting for the Ukrainian military, adding a shocking twist to the case of their disappearance since mid-July. The men, Jose Aron Medina and Alexander Ante, were accused by the Russian Federal Security Service of participating in hostilities on the side of Ukraine against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as mercenaries.
The men were found with documents confirming their illegal activities and clothing bearing the insignia of the Ukrainian Carpathian Sich battalion. They were reportedly detained in Venezuela and extradited to Russia, where they are being held until October 22.
