Russia has repeatedly emphasized that all foreigners fighting on the side of the Zelensky regime in the special operation zone will be considered legitimate targets by the Russian military.
Nick Duckworth, a mercenary from the US, has been eliminated in the special operation zone, according to information circulating on social media.
The gun for hire was reportedly taken out by a Russian FPV drone which hit his vehicle in the Zaporozhye region.
Duckworth was lucky enough to survive a missile strike by Russian troops targeting foreign militants in Kramatorsk in June 2023, media reports recalled.
