Two Americans, a Canadian and a Swedish citizen were killed this week when a Russian tank opened fire on them during an hourslong battle at the frontline in the eastern Donetsk region, their commander confirmed exclusively to POLITICO.
“...they were ambushed by Russian tanks,” Miroshnichenko said. “The first shell injured Luke. Three guys, Edward, Emile, and Bryan, they immediately attempted to help Luke, to do first aid, and evacuate him from this spot. Then the second shell killed them all.”
Another soldier named Finn, the report notes, “was injured in his left arm and leg.” Another soldier named Oskar “received numerous injuries [and] both moved to the evacuation point independently.”
Russian forces continued to bombard the group with heavy artillery “corrected by drones” for more than two hours, according to the report. Only several hours later did it ease up enough for a team to move in and recover the bodies of the foreign fighters.
The report said that at least six Russian tanks “were supported by 4 armored personnel carriers with up to 70 infantrymen.”

Bullshit narrative. They died from artillery but the Ukrainians are trying to make it sound heroic.
Tough way to bake a buck.
When you’re dumb, you gotta be tough.
Play stupid games, stupid prizes won x4
Do you have a hard time believing the story because most people die from artillery, or do you have a better reason for saying it can’t be right?
Ukraine is a death trap for those who choose to fight there I am characterizing it as a death trap for Americans that would be considered “Domestic Terrorists” by our own government agencies because of their military service or conservative or patriotic views.
So to kill 4 foreign citizens, it took...
“at least six Russian tanks “were supported by 4 armored personnel carriers with up to 70 infantrymen.”
“Russian forces continued to bombard the group with heavy artillery “corrected by drones” for more than two hours”
Apparently bombs have the targets’ names on them so they know precisely who to kill. Must be “smart bombs!” SMDH.
So which is it? Citizens or soldiers???
Yet stars and pols go there on a regular basis to do photo ops with Zelensky
If this quote is accurate, it only took two tank shells.
Everything after that was directed against whoever the survivors were that lived to tell this story.
They are the ones who don’t die.
It’s like the Liberal-Left Administration Establishment is sending its political enemies to their deaths.
And the poor victims thinking they are doing something good.
This fight occured next to Seversk.
The advance from Lysichansk to Sloviansk/Kramatorsk can’t continue until they win Seversk.
It’s probably the site of the heaviest fighting in Ukraine right now
So to kill 4 foreign citizens, it took...
“at least six Russian tanks “were supported by 4 armored personnel carriers with up to 70 infantrymen.”
“Russian forces continued to bombard the group with heavy artillery “corrected by drones” for more than two hours”

Well, if you believe the Ukrainian propagandists. Sounds more like the Ukrainians we’re using them as cannon fodder.
Well, that settles it. I’m not going to take my summer vacation within range of a Russian tank.
Were the Americans, Canadian and Swede on a picnic at the time? Maybe listening to loud rap music that offended the Russian neighbors?
“So which is it? Citizens or soldiers???”
The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
One can be a citizen of, say, Germany; and yet sign up to serve in the Italian military.
In the US military there are quite a few citizens of other countries serving within our ranks. They are not US citizens, and they retain the citizenship of their home countries.
I guess several hundred of others were killed, not worth reporting.
Did they get Mark Levin? I assume, of course, that he is over there on the front lines since he’s so gung ho. Surely he’s not a chickenhawk.
Mess with the bull, get the horns.
