Russia claims liquidation of foreign mercenaries

A Russian-linked Telegram channel, citing the group 'TrackANaziMerc', has reported the liquidation of a group of nine foreign mercenaries near Kupyansk in Ukraine. The channel named the individuals as Hudson Alves Araujo, Lucas Sobral, and Igor de Aguiar Amazonas from Brazil, and Santiago Andres Ortiz Gomez, Yolvis Miguel Hoyos Marino, Camilo Andres Guevara Villo, Aroldo Jose Riveira Iguaran, John Jairo Gonzalez Trejo, and Juan Pablo Cely Ramirez from Colombia. The report, which uses the term 'amigos' and promises 'more to come', frames the event as a successful operation within an 'operational space'.
