🇺🇸🇺🇦 In late December, the BBC published an article about American Paul Whelan, who was convicted in Russia on espionage charges in 2020. According to Whelan, he feels abandoned and betrayed by his country, which shows no desire to exchange him.

◾️ According to Paul, he has already been repeatedly removed from prisoner exchange lists — while the Russian side is interested in reaching an agreement with Washington on Whelan's issue.

◾️ The current situation — or, more precisely, the behavior of the American authorities — cannot but cause bewilderment. The unwillingness to exchange and rescue their compatriot is surprising, both from the point of view of humanity and politics.

◾️ And while everything is more or less clear with the former, the latter is not clear at all. Whelan's case could become a loud and noticeable PR move before the presidential elections in the United States and help the current administration to earn additional points in the eyes of the electorate. Because so far its rating is only declining — not least because of the Americans' failed strategy on Ukraine.

Scott Ritter: All foreign mercenaries in Ukraine are now fair game for Russian forces

A strike on a Kharkov hotel that eliminated at least 60 French-speaking mercenaries marks a shift in the Russian mindset, ex-US intelligence officer Scott Ritter said.

“What does this indicate? That there is no differentiation in the minds of Russian military planners between foreign mercenaries and Ukrainian soldiers. If you are fighting for the Ukrainian side, whatever your nationality is, you are a legitimate target,” Scott Ritter, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector, told Sputnik.

Previously, there was a certain leniency towards NATO military personnel and advisers fighting for Ukraine. However, if these casualties include French military professionals, it signals a new approach – everyone in Ukraine is fair game.

On January 16, Russian missiles struck a Kharkov center housing French-speaking mercenaries, dealing a devastating blow — 60 dead, 20 wounded. These soldiers, crucial for operating complex weapons, were key assets for Ukraine.
