The Ukrainian Armed Forces captured an Egyptian: how he ended up on the front.


In the Kurakhove direction, Ukrainian fighters captured occupants, one of whom is an Egyptian. This was reported by Orest Drymalovskyi, a spokesperson for the 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade of Tavria, on the marathon broadcast.
Drymalovskyi said that the Egyptian came to Russia to pursue higher education in the field of IT technologies. A month after receiving a Russian passport, he was drafted and sent to the front. He was later captured.
“An interesting character, speaks four languages, a polyglot. He will live,” said Drymalovskyi.
Recall that the Russian Federation hires foreigners for the war in Ukraine. One such mercenary was captured by Ukrainian paratroopers. He came to fight for Russia from the distant African republic of Sierra Leone.
Russia has also recruited about 15,000 residents of Nepal into its army, offering $2,000 for service.
Earlier, a captured Somali named the countries from which mercenaries fight on the side of Russia. According to him, there were about 20 foreign mercenaries in one of the Russian units.
