Russian soldiers tied up and left a wounded mercenary from African countries in the Kursk region to die. The video was released by the 129th Territorial Defence Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The footage, taken by a drone of the Rugby Team’s drone strike company, showed a wounded man with his hands tied in a village. The investigators found out that it was the village of Plekhovo in the Suzhansky district.
The reason for the Russians’ behaviour is not known for certain. Probably, the mercenary refused to fight or was used as a ‘bait’ for Ukrainian drones.
The video shows a man with an injured leg hiding in a damaged building and then trying to move around a snowy field using a homemade crutch. Later, he fell and did not move anymore.
The 129th Brigade noted that this case demonstrates the attitude of the Russians towards their mercenaries.
