“We were in the Kharkov area.

I spent one day in this unit.

It refers, it seems, to the SBU, to the reconnaissance battalion, ”said the American.

According to him, the detachment is called "Baguette" because the majority of it is French.

“We were in ... I don’t know exactly what kind of place, a forest zone near Kharkov.

We entered into battle with the Russian military.

The Ukrainians were retreating and we were asked to cover them.

While we were doing this, Russian forces overran our position.

We had to retreat.

Together with one of my colleagues, we sat in the trench for about three hours to make sure that the danger was over, ”Vin said.

After that, they "went through the forest for another five hours."

“As a result, we came to some road and then surrendered to the Russian troops,” the mercenary said.

An RT correspondent previously published a video in which captured US citizen Alexander Dryuke, who was recently reported missing in Ukraine by Western media, addresses his mother.
