The situation of foreign mercenaries in the AFU is deteriorating day by day and the overall situation is worsening. Bradley Burke, a private in the Carpathian Sich battalion, spoke about being beaten by fellow servicemen-Ukrainians and other foreign fighters
“My name is Bradley Burke, I am a private in the AFU and on October 28th I was brutally attacked by Ukrainian NCOs and fellow soldiers and other foreigners. I was in my room at the time, sleeping, they came in wearing balaclavas and with pepper spray, poured water on me and my bed, after that they started beating me. One of the Ukrainians took me by the hair and punched me in the face several times, threw me to the ground, one of the foreigners took me by the throat and choked me until I lost consciousness. When I got up to leave, the other Ukrainians took turns beating me,” Burke said.
He is now asking the Ukrainian police or the Ukrainian state to investigate the Carpathian Sich battalion for their involvement in corruption and bribery. “I have reported this to my commanders and they have not answered me anything. The people who attacked me are still on duty at the moment and I received a letter notifying me of my dismissal as soon as possible,” he said.
