"He [Trump] could. And Kamala Harris could. Any candidate could if they wanted to. Like I said before, it is just a matter of making America, making the American government realize that the war is not in their best interest," Martindale said in an interview with Sputnik. Martindale noted, however, that he does not think that either Harris or Trump are “personally interested” in ending that conflict.After ending up in the Ukraine-controlled section of Donbass following the escalation of the conflict in February 2022, Martindale was able to make contact with Russian forces and began providing them with intelligence on Ukrainian military facilities, all while managing to avoid detection.After two years of aiding Russia through this covert work, Martindale was brought out from behind enemy lines in a daring operation conducted by Russian forces.Martindale also shared that about 100 mercenaries from Latin America who fought on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had been living near him as recently as two months ago.He clarified that he was talking about mercenaries from South and Central America, and also named several countries from which they came, mentioning Colombia, Bolivia and Mexico."Their opinion was that there's no good reason to be here. They were afraid. They just wanted to go home. And even better, they asked if I could arrange and help get them to America. Their fighting spirit was completely gone," Martindale also told Sputnik. At the same time, he noted that there were those still convinced of their Nazi ideas and the necessity to defeat Russia. At the moment, the biggest weakness in the face of the Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries is the lack of people, he added. "There are not many soldiers left who are either willing or available to fight."

Trump, Harris Could End Ukraine Conflict but Won't – US Citizen Martindale
01:12 GMT 05.11.2024 (Updated: 06:53 GMT 05.11.2024) Both US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris could end the Ukrainian conflict if they so desired, argued Daniel Martindale, a US citizen who voluntarily supplied Russian troops with intelligence while staying in Kiev-controlled areas.
"He [Trump] could. And Kamala Harris could. Any candidate could if they wanted to. Like I said before, it is just a matter of making America, making the American government realize that the war is not in their best interest," Martindale said in an interview with Sputnik.
Martindale noted, however, that he does not think that either Harris or Trump are “personally interested” in ending that conflict.
After ending up in the Ukraine-controlled section of Donbass following the escalation of the conflict in February 2022, Martindale was able to make contact with Russian forces and began providing them with
intelligence on Ukrainian military facilities, all while managing to avoid detection.
After two years of aiding Russia through
this covert work, Martindale was brought out from behind enemy lines in a daring operation conducted by Russian forces.
Martindale also shared that about 100 mercenaries from Latin America who fought on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had been living near him as recently as two months ago.
"I can say that as recently as a couple months ago, there were about 100 Latinos in our village," he said.
He clarified that he was talking about mercenaries from South and Central America, and also named several countries from which they came, mentioning Colombia, Bolivia and Mexico.
The Russian security forces previously told Sputnik that they had extracted US citizen Daniel Martindale from the territory controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He had been in Ukraine since February 11, 2022, and had been transmitting coordinates of Ukrainian military facilities to Russia for two years. This information has been used more than once to destroy equipment and personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
"Their opinion was that there's no good reason to be here. They were afraid. They just wanted to go home. And even better, they asked if I could arrange and help get them to America. Their fighting spirit was completely gone," Martindale also told Sputnik.
At the same time, he noted that there were those still convinced of their Nazi ideas and the necessity to defeat Russia.
"One way or the other, I don't think that their morale is anywhere near as high as it was even a year ago," the man said.
At the moment, the biggest weakness in the face of the Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries is the lack of people, he added.
"There are not many soldiers left who are either willing or available to fight."
