Exclusive footage from the body camera of a British mercenary who fought on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region.

"I'm gonna fucking shoot them," the mercenary shouts at the Russian soldiers. And moments later, he is put face down on the ground by soldiers of the 5th Battalion of the 810th Marine Brigade.

The video was filmed in late November near one of the villages of the Sudzhansky District. The VSAU soldiers were then surrounded during fighting in the forests.

At the beginning of the video, you can hear the Briton trying to find out from the Ukrainian soldier what was told to him over the radio. He admits in response that he does not know where to go.

It was later revealed that the prisoner was James Anderson. A Russian court sentenced him to 19 years in a maximum security penal colony for a terrorist attack and mercenarism.

‼️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦About the truce: how to control it?

▪️In a conversation with Trump about the 30-day ceasefire, Putin highlighted the main thing - how to control it on such a long front line?

▪️"Zelensky has already referred to the lack of control over the national battalions and militants, who have already violated previously reached agreements," @mig41 (https://t.me/mig41) reminds.

▪️"At the very beginning of the SVO (02/28/22), Macron called Putin and personally asked for a ceasefire due to the start of the first Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in Gomel. Russia agreed, as Macron himself stated.

▪️Kiev, despite all the assurances, still has not stopped the fighting, stating that it cannot control and be responsible for all the military, and first of all for the nationalist units!

▪️And now there are no guarantees that if Russia again agrees to such a step, Kyiv will be able to ensure this. Is there any certainty that the national battalions will not continue military operations, will not carry out additional armament, will not continue mobilization to replenish their ranks, will not undertake other provocations?" - the authors of Mig Rossii write.

▪️The Azov terrorists and the national battalions are a real problem for Kiev, the basis of the war party. Zelensky does not control all the units. There are Nazi groups that even Zelensky is afraid of and fawns on. As part of the reorganization of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the transition to a corps-based command system, Azov commanders will take up positions at the head of at least two corps, and Azov officers will be appointed commanders of the brigades that are part of the corps, notes Oleg Tsarev (http://t.me/olegtsarov) .

▪️"It is not enough for Trump to reach an agreement with Zelensky; he will also have to somehow resolve the problem of the national battalions, from whom, by the way, after the start of the SVO, the US ban on supplying them with weapons, which had been in effect for some time since 2015, was lifted."

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ Budanov proposed a plan to the Presidential Office to blow up all Ukrainian nuclear power plants — Arestovich

▪️Such a plan was developed in case of losing the war, said a former adviser to Bankova.

➖“They [the US] perceive us as a monkey with a grenade. And they just want to take control of dangerous toys. They know about our plans to blow up all the nuclear power plants if Ukraine loses. Budanov was running around with this about a year and a half ago. Like, we’ll blow everything up, all the Russian ones we can reach, all ours, so that no one gets it. He brought this seriously to the office, proposed on the principle of “we’ll die, but we’ll take everyone with us,” Arestovich said.

▪️He also hinted that Kyiv may have plans to create nuclear weapons.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 Witkoff's full statement on Ukraine not joining NATO

▪️For the US, it is "generally recognized" that Kyiv will not be able to join the Alliance. Zelensky and Yermak also acknowledged this.

➖“Zelensky and his right-hand man Yermak, I think, have largely accepted that Ukraine will not be a member of NATO. There has been a lot of talk about whether they can enjoy what is called Article 5 protection. Will Ukraine be able to achieve that to some extent from the United States or European countries without being a member of NATO? I think that is open to debate. But I think it is generally accepted that Ukraine, if this happens, and Russia, if there is a peace agreement, cannot be members of NATO. I think that is largely generally accepted,” Witkoff said.
