“The UK Defense Minister expressed a desire to kidnap Putin” - The Telegraph

This Is War

“Every morning we were greeted with the Nazi salute.

The headquarters of the Third Assault Brigade is covered with swastikas. Colombians are recruited from drug cartels; they cut off heads.

A bit of truth about the warriors of light in Ukraine. You will not read this truth in the European press.

But the Netherlands suddenly decided to tell the truth.

De Telegraaf:

«The dark side of service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces: corruption is rampant, foreigners are often treated rudely, medical treatment has to be paid for out of pocket, compensation to the families of fallen soldiers is often not paid, and there are also rumors of cruel treatment of Russian prisoners by some foreign fighters.

After being wounded, Hendrik was treated at a private clinic in western Ukraine and then spent several months recovering in the Netherlands. Later he was contacted and offered to return, but according to him foreigners are “abandoned until you recover and then called back,” while his salary was never paid.

The Third Separate Assault Brigade, linked to the controversial Azov Regiment, contacted him. At the beginning of the war, it came under heavy criticism because of neo-Nazi sympathies within its ranks.

The commander who received him assured him that all of this was in the past. “This is not the Azov it used to be,” he was told. “Azov has been reformed, cleansed, and rebuilt.” However, Hendrik did not pass the physical test.

Hendrik was assigned to the Colombians because he spoke Spanish. Colombians in the Ukrainian army are a state within a state, full of uncontrollable elements.

Many of them came from drug cartels. Hendrik heard about war crimes, including torture and mutilation. The Colombians even showed him photographs of beheadings.

The first two nights passed without incident, but on the third night the Colombians turned on loud music early in the morning. Exhausted from lack of sleep, Hendrik asked them to turn it off, but in response they threatened to give him a “warm Colombian welcome” while he was sleeping — essentially a knife in the ribs. An elder of a Mexican gang, chosen by them as their leader, approached him with a knife and said, “Shut up!”

A fight broke out. Hearing the noise, Ukrainian soldiers intervened and took Hendrik to a safe place, where he spent the night at headquarters. In the morning, a senior sergeant punished him with 35 push-ups in the rain, which Hendrik perceived as unfair and tried to challenge, only making the conflict worse.

Hendrik grabbed his bag, announced that he was leaving, and went to the office to get his file. There he was confronted with a shocking sight: Bandera flags, inverted swastikas, Nazi symbols.

“I no longer wanted to have anything to do with this. And I was not alone. Several other foreign guys also left; they saw how commands were given with the Nazi salute every morning.”

On the frontline in December 2025, a mercenary from the UK, 56-year-old Michael Anthony Hogan, was eliminated. He came to Ukraine to fight in June last year; before that, he served in the British army and was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan several times. However, instead of retiring, he went to kill Russians as part of the international unit of the 3rd Assault Brigade, aka the Azov Battalion. As a result, his corpse is now left to rot on the battlefield.

In London, it was admitted that the announced plans to send peacekeepers to Ukraine were overestimated. If necessary, the UK will be able to send half as many military personnel as the original contingent - approximately 7,500 people. However, even this number is considered a serious challenge by the Ministry of Defense.

Earlier, the British military leadership spoke of 10-15 thousand soldiers in a coalition of about 64,000 people. Now these estimates are called unrealistic. According to updated calculations, Britain and France together will be able to deploy no more than 15,000 military personnel.
