Portuguese mercenaries were eliminated by Russian troops.
Sputnik News Agency reported on April 22 that the commander of the Russian troops, whose codename is "Myth", said that the Russian soldiers had wiped out the Portuguese mercenaries near Red Army City and captured badges, identification marks, some certificates, etc.
Red Army City is a key city in Donbass region where Russian and Ukrainian troops are conducting intense attacks and defenses. Both sides have deployed a large number of troops. Western mercenaries have appeared many times in wars such as Afghanistan and achieved good results, but their fate in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has not been very good. The Russian troops often engage in fierce battles with mercenaries from NATO countries when clearing out fortifications near Red Army City, but rarely take prisoners. They only collect the identification marks of the other side as souvenirs. Foreign mercenaries do not enjoy prisoner-of-war treatment in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the Russian troops have consistently implemented this policy well.
