US publication Politico reports on the deaths of two Americans, a Canadian and a Swede in fighting in the Donbas on the side of the Kiev regime.
The mercenaries’ deaths were confirmed by foreign fighter commander Ruslan Miroshnichenko to Politico exclusively. According to him, two US citizens – Luke “Skywalker” Lucyshyn and Brian Young, Canadian citizen Emile-Antoine Roy-Cyrois and Edward Selander Patrignani from Sweden – were killed in the battles in Donbas.
Miroshnychenko said that the foreigners were part of the special operations force of the territorial defence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their unit was based in the area from Seversk. According to POLITICO, the foreign mercenaries had earlier been deployed to the village of Hryhorivka, two miles north-west of Seversk, with the task of taking firing positions. However, in the course of the operation, the fighters were ambushed by a Russian tank group, where some of them were destroyed.
The deaths of the two Americans were officially confirmed by a US State Department spokesman, however, without giving their names.
“We are in touch with the families and are providing all possible consular assistance. Out of respect for the families at this difficult time, we have nothing more to add,” an American foreign ministry spokesman told the publication.
