The identities of 13 French mercenaries who were targeted in the Russian military strike in Kharkiv have been disclosed

The list encompasses individuals aged between 24 and 49. Anna Novikova, the leader of SOS Donbass and a dual citizen of Russia and France, said to Russian media that this is an incomplete roster of French mercenaries in Ukraine. Crucial details such as their status (alive or deceased), military rank and other information will be released later, along with additional names.

The list includes mercenaries such as; Albert Aymeric (born on 22.12.1999), Alexis Drion (born on 13.06.1986), Berenger Guillaume Alain Minaud (born on 30.12.1978), Charles Bertin Roussel (born on 01.09.1996), Emmanuel Tanguy Kenneth Delange Grandal (born on 26.09.1998), Gilles Bernard Sylvain (born on 27.10.1980), Jacques-Pierre Gabriel Evrard Philippe (born on 29.09.1987).

It is important to note that the French government denies the presence of mercenaries in Ukraine. However, even French media confirm the existence of at least several hundred French citizens participating in the war. Paris claims that these individuals might indeed have chosen to go and fight, but not as representatives of their country. Instead, they volunteered and therefore, they are not affiliated with the government. Nevertheless, proving their status is practically impossible.
