MOSCOW, August 11. /TASS/. Ukrainian evacuation teams destroyed the bodies of dead Colombian mercenaries using acid, said Alexander Krivenko, a captured Ukrainian soldier.

"When they brought me to the position, I met six men from the 425th brigade. And they told me that [Russian] FPV drones were taking out Colombian mercenaries in groups of 50. There were a lot of bodies there. When the ‘evac’ (evacuation team) arrived, they took the bodies away, burned them, and poured acid on them," Krivenko said.

He added that he was guided to the position using a drone and was not provided with water or food, so Krivenko decided to surrender and promised his commander that he would reveal the Ukrainian positions he knew to the Russian military.
