Pro-Kremlin Texan Russell Bentley, who fought for Russia, found dead in Ukraine

The missing American who’d traveled to Ukraine years ago to aid Russian separatists in Donbas was found dead in the country’s war-torn eastern region.

The body of Russell Bentley, a 64-year-old U.S. Army vet, was recovered in the Russian-controlled region of Donetsk Oblast, Reuters reported.

The former pothead, who used “Texas” as his military call-sign, left behind a yoga instructor girlfriend to travel to Ukraine.

He utilized crowdfunding sites to finance his trip, and had since become a Russian citizen.

He also got married after moving to Ukraine, where he began working as a reporter for the state-owned Sputnik news agency.

-snip-

Conflicting reports suggest Bentley was abducted by Russian soldiers and killed, possibly because they thought he was an American spy.

On social media, unsubstantiated claims circulated saying Bentley was raped prior to his murder, and was either shot eight times in the head or decapitated.

What CHP-5 doink?

At CHP-5, a plant in Kharkov that generates electricity and heat, the acrid stench of smoke still hangs in the air. Its damaged generator and turbine must be replaced, according to plant manager Oleksandr Minkovich.

Spare parts for the Soviet-era plant can only be sourced from Russia, and full restoration would likely take years, he said. But Minkovitch hopes Ukraine’s Western partners will provide modern technology to decentralize power in time for winter.

Bentley was raped by Putin’s Muslim Chechens. Then they shot off his head.

Yes, I can see the drool of glee dripping down from the mouth of marcuscretinous, as he types one-handed on this thread.

Ukrainians die on their feet because they don’t want to live on their knees as slaves, again, in the filthy Russian World. Obviously, you will never understand men like that. That’s ok.

Tell Russia to send “General 200” Syrskyi’s recent crop of massacred Ukrainians back from Belgorod, so their wives and mothers can bury the pieces.
