“How many civilians were shot in February 2023? And how many of them were teenagers?” Osechkin asked in one of the interviews. One of the ex-mercenaries replied: “I don’t know, maybe 24, 20.” Osechkin asked: “And you were unarmed, no uniform, plain clothes? ”

The mercenary confirmed this, adding: “When they took off their underwear, lifted their arms, their tattoos came out. There was no other way.” He stressed, “We shot them more because of their tattoos than what they might be up to.”
