“I am not Ukrainian! Do not kill me, I am a British citizen!”. – This is the patch found by Russian fighters on the camouflage jacket of a foreign AFU mercenary killed near Bakhmut (Artemivsk).
The inscription is in English and Russian. The Russian version is duplicated in Latin letters.
“The amulet did not save the British man’,” telegram feeds from the LDNR reported.
On January 10, two British AFU mercenaries, Andrew Bagshaw, 48, and Christopher Perry, 28, went missing near Bakhmut. Perry and Bagshaw were fighting under the cover of British humanitarian workers. Bagshaw concealed his military assistance to the AFU using a New Zealand passport, which, unlike the UK, does not show itself to be an interested party in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Meanwhile, the formal head of New Zealand is the British King Charles III and New Zealand is part of the British Commonwealth. Along with the US, South Korea, Australia and Japan, New Zealand is part of a western ‘security belt’ in the Pacific against Russia, North Korea and China. Many New Zealanders morally support the Kiev regime or are fighting on the side of the Kiev regime against Russia. Commonwealth countries formally prohibit their citizens from fighting on the side of Kiev and recommend refraining from travelling to Ukraine. Given the overall situation, this position – including that of official London – seems hypocritical.
A patch asking the Russian military not to kill a British mercenary of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is a hint that this Briton could be exchanged profitably. As the UK media recall, five British mercenaries of the Kiev regime were previously captured by the Russian army in the Donbass. Some of the Britons had been fighting since 2014 as part of Azov (an organisation banned in the Russian Federation) and had committed crimes against humanity. In September, Russia extradited them to Kiev in exchange for prisoners of war from the Kiev regime. Saudi Arabia mediated the exchange.
“This means that Aidin Eslin, John Harding, Dylan Healey, Andrew Hill and Sean Pinner are allowed to return home,” British media reported.
The British foreign office has been taking an extremely suspicious interest in the situation in Soledar and Bakhmut since January.
