247 - Journalist Breno Altman stated on Bom Dia 247 this Monday (14) that Vladimir Putin's government made a clear message with the attack on a mercenary base in Ukraine, near Poland: "the mercenaries will meet their death". Russian forces attack on the International Peacekeeping and Security Center In the city of Yavoriv, ​​about 10 km from the Polish border and 60 km from the city center of Lviv, on Sunday, at least 35 people were killed and 134 injured. 

One of those who was there, but escaped before the attack, was shooting instructor Tiago Rossi, from Maringá (PR). He reported in a video that the entire base was destroyed by a fighter jet from the Russian Aerospace Forces. According to Rossi, only those who managed to leave the base before the attack survived. "There were special forces soldiers from all over the world there. The information we have is that everyone died. They (the Russians) wiped everything out. You don't understand, it's over, it's over. The Legion was exterminated all at once. I didn't imagine what a war was like," he lamented.

The use of mercenaries is a practice on both sides of the war, the Ukrainian and the Russian. Last Friday (11), Putin signed a decree to mobilize up to 16 volunteers from the Middle East for the war. The measure allows Russia to send mercenaries experienced in conflicts like Syria without risking more Russian military casualties.

The Wagner Group militias (in Russian Группа Вагнера) are one such group. Wagner's mercenaries operated in Syria and provide services to governments and companies in Eastern Europe and Africa. The militia is known for its extremely violent actions against civilian populations.
