US Mercenaries Killed in Ukraine


Reports about Americans killed in the Ukrainian conflict zone started surfacing in media mere weeks after the conflict’s escalation.
A CNN article from April 2022 reveals the details of one Willy Joseph Cancel, a 22-year old corrections officer from Tennessee and former US Marine who signed up with a “private military contracting company” not long before February 2022.

In March 2022, Cancel entered Ukraine from Poland to fight against Russian forces as part of a group comprised of men from “all different countries,” only to be killed about a month later. His mother, Rebecca Cabrera, complained that her son’s teammates were unable to recover his body.
On May 15, a 52-year old US Army veteran Stephen Zabielsky got killed in Zaporozhye Region after stepping on a land mine, if a Rolling Stone article from June 2022 is to be believed.

Zabielsky was reportedly operating in the Ukrainian conflict zone as part of a 13-man multinational squad called Wolverines – likely a reference to the 1984 movie “Red Dawn” where a bunch of plucky American teenagers band together to fight a fictional Soviet invasion of the US.

Cancel and Zabielsky thus became referred to by media outlets as the first and the second American citizens (respectively) killed in the Ukrainian conflict.
A 50-year old US Marine veteran Grady Kurpasi was operating in Ukraine as part of a foreign militant group in April 2022 when he and another British fighter went on a scouting mission near the observation post their unit was manning – that was the last time he was seen alive by his fellow mercenaries.

Kurpasi’s skeletal remains were discovered and identified only a year later and were shipped to the US for burial in May 2023.

A friend of Kurpasi who assisted with the effort to recover the ex-Marine’s remains told the newspaper that the US State Department was “absolutely awful” in that situation, and that “it was probably beneficial” that the said government agency was not involved with the retrieval of what was left of Kurpasi.
Yet another report on CBS News reveals the fate of two US citizens named Luke Lucyszyn and Bryan Young who got killed after running afoul of a Russian tank on July 18, 2022.

The duo’s commanding officer reportedly said that Lucyszyn, who was supposedly volunteering as a medic for the Ukrainian forces, first got injured by shelling and when Young and others rushed to help him, both of them got killed by Russian tank fire. Two other foreign militants – a Swede and a Canadian – were also killed in that attack.
In August 2022, a 24-year old US Army veteran Joshua Alan Jones was killed in Ukraine while fighting as part of a militant unit called the Norman Brigade that is apparently comprised of foreign militants fighting for the Kiev regime.

Russian media said at that time that Jones was killed in action near the village of Yegorovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic, with local authorities saying that they are willing to help return the militant’s body to his country of origin.

In October 2022, the death of one Dane Partridge was reported by US media. A 34-year old native of Idaho and a former US Army soldier, Partridge was serving as part of a unit for the Kiev regime that included at least several other foreign militants, according to an American propaganda broadcaster.

Shrapnel going through sheet metal bends the metal. The protuberances are on the opposite side from the entry. Although Russia seized the wreckage and did not allow journalists, the plane maker, or unauthorized people to view it, it was too late. Villagers arriving at the crash sight had already both filmed what they saw on camera and also put those videos on the Internet (Bless them Lord). Find those first images while the fires were still burning, expand them and study the shrapnel holes in the plane fuselage. That shrapnel went into the plane from the outside, not outbound as Putin would have you believe. Conclusion, Putin lies to cover himself again.

Western media is almost always more accurate than Soviet style Russian media.

LoL that Lukeon classifies Russia TV 1 footage as MSM.
Must admit the talk about hand grenades was a bit of a stretch of the imagination.dunno
OMG rolling on the floor laughing and people are actually believing the utter rot you are sucking out of your thumb..As most people know I close my blogs on 40 comments so I won't even ask you to show us footage of this rubbish you. rolling on the floor laughing
What a clown.
American tracking equipment did not record the launch of surface-to-air missiles in the area of ??the crash of the plane belonging to the structures of Yevgeny Prigozhin. At the same time, the Pentagon is inclined to the version that the curator of the Wagner PMC died in a plane crash.
The American military department refutes the version with the alleged downing of Prigozhin's plane over the Tver region, launched by the Ukrainian TsIPSO. As stated in the Pentagon, they did not see a single confirmation of reports of an alleged anti-aircraft missile launched from the ground. According to the official representative of the department, Patrick Ryder, with a high probability, Yevgeny Prigozhin died.
It is true the US does not monitor that part of Russia for anit-air missile launches. Why would we? That area is well inside Russia's territory and anything flying there does so with Russian permission. We don't usually track Ukraine's drone attacks on Moscow either. Too small and no radar suitable for the task aimed in that direction. Regarding the Russian TV claim Ukraine did it (which Vladimir was speculating in the first day after the crash) Ukraine has no anti aircraft missile with enough range to reach past Moscow from Ukraine's border. If they did they would be using them on Soviet bombers taking off from places like Savvatiya or Aerodrom Kubinka, etc.before they could launch cruise missiles. It would truly be an awesome anti aircraft missile that could both climb to 28,000 feet and also reach past the area of Tver from inside Ukraine. They truly wish they had such a missile.

Regarding my not posting videos of the plane, you already complained about my cut and pasting, so I didn't bother this time. Anyone that cares can YouTube search for the local farmer's videos of the plane crash and see the shrapnel holes in the fuselage while the fires were still burning and before the area was roped off.

BTW the footage Margarita S. showed on her show was not Prigozhin's plane, not even the same model, just old footage of a Russian plane being falling out of the sky. <something they do a lot of lately. Possibly related to discount parts from Pakistan.>
