**"MERCENARIES IN UKRAINE"**

Under this headline, the Dutch newspaper NRC today **published a large report from Colombia — about the fate of fighters who fell for the Ukrainians' promises to pay them crazy money** for participating in the war.

**The newspaper writes that Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of people for the front, so it is recruiting mercenaries**. Wait, why a shortage?&#33; After all, Zelensky says he has almost no losses&#33; Where have the people gone?&#33;

**Diego Alvarado is cited as an example, who fell for advertising promising him €5,000 a month **for service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Now his body is being searched for…

**His widow raised money for a trip to Ukraine in the hope of finding her husband's body.** Now she recalls with resentment:



> "I was truly shocked by the attitude. The Ukrainians seemed distant to me, but perhaps that's because of the war.
> Some even treated me on racial grounds because of my Colombian origin. 
> 
> I thought: my husband gave his life for your struggle, and this is how you treat me?"


Yes, this is Ukrainian-style gratitude&#33; **The naive Colombian still hopes that Ukraine will pay the &#036;300,000 that her husband was promised by Ukraine** in the event of his death. 

She doesn't understand that **this money has long since been divided up by his commanders.**

**The newspaper spoke with a lawyer who is currently busy searching for 400 Colombian mercenaries **killed and missing in Ukraine.

_Come on, let's calculate how much Kiev owes to the families of all the dead mercenaries&#33;_
