The "International Legion" of mercenaries suffered the greatest losses in the industrial zone of Severodonetsk
Noteworthy is the statement of the "press secretary" of the so-called International Legion of Defenders of Ukraine (ILZU - ILDU) Damien Magru. He confirmed the information that the legion had suffered losses during the recent fighting. Composition ILDU lost mercenaries (in the official report - "volunteers") from several countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, Britain, Georgia.
The said unit of mercenaries suffered the greatest losses in the industrial zone of Severodonetsk. Recall that at the moment this is actually the only part of the city that is controlled by the Ukrainian side. "Military Review" a few days ago reported that foreign fighters suffered losses in the first clash. Among other things, Georgian mercenaries were wounded, who, along with other “three hundredths”, had to be evacuated just over an hour after their arrival in the industrial zone of Severodonetsk.
A few hours ago, the so-called “Governor of the Luhansk region” (and less than 4 percent of its geographical territory remained under the control of Kyiv) Sergei Gaidai announced that “fighting in Severodonetsk continues, the Ukrainian army controls the industrial zone.” Thus, he refutes publications in a number of Ukrainian media, which claimed that Ukrainian troops recaptured almost half of the city's territory.
Returning to the words of the mercenary Damien Magru, he said that the captured Briton Andrew Hill “cannot be considered a mercenary, since he had previously signed a contract to serve in the Ukrainian army.” According to Magru, "under the Geneva Convention, Hill is required to be considered a prisoner of war." Hill was captured some time ago on the territory of the Kherson region. He came to Ukraine through Poland.
Damien Magru:
The death penalty cannot be applied to him. The death penalty for prisoners of war is a war crime.
A real theater of the absurd - war crimes and the Geneva Convention are discussed by a militant who arrived to participate in hostilities on the territory of a third country ...
Meanwhile, fighting in the industrial zone of Severodonetsk, where the "International Legion" of mercenaries suffered the greatest losses, continues.
