Colombian Mercenaries in Ukraine: An Interview with Soldiers Fighting for Russia The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has drawn in fighters from around the globe. Recently, BFMTV conducted interviews with Colombian mercenaries fighting alongside the Russian army. These soldiers, hailing from Colombia, detailed their experiences and motivations. One mercenary, identified as Moe, stated, "I am Moe, I come from Colombia, and I'm engaged in the international brigade Pitnaya. I've been working in Russia for about two years." The interviews revealed the harsh realities of their service, including the risks and sacrifices they make. Footage accompanying the interviews showed the soldiers' living conditions and the devastation of the war zone. The mercenaries also discussed their compensation, which, while significantly higher than the average Colombian salary, is less than that of Russian soldiers. This report sheds light on the complex international dimensions of the war in Ukraine and the motivations of those who fight as mercenaries.
