Ukrainian Border Guards Recruiting Colombians at Polish Border: Source
12:19 16.04.2026 (Updated: 12:20 16.04.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukrainian border guard troops have been recruiting Colombians into the Ukrainian armed forces at the border with Poland, a source linked to the Colombian recruitment circles in Ukraine and the Middle East told Sputnik.
"Mercenaries reach the Polish-Ukrainian border, where they are taken into border troops," the source said.
Colombians travel to the Polish-Ukrainian border without making prior arrangements with Ukrainian recruiters because they know that they can join the Ukrainian armed forces on the spot, the source said.
"Relatives of the missing Colombians say that their loved ones get to the border, sign up, are taken to military units for training and are then sent to a war zone. Then all contact with them is lost," the source added.
