Details
It is noted that the paratroopers discovered a group of the enemy while conducting a combat mission. Some of the enemies were destroyed, and some were captured. Among them was an unusual prisoner – Gianni Chenni, a native of Naples, a citizen of the Italian Republic, who volunteered to serve in the Russian army.
Gianni Chenni worked in one of the restaurants in the Russian city of Samara, but in November 2024 he went to serve in the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
Our soldiers acted coherently and decisively, neutralized the enemy and took the Italian alive
As the Ukrainian military said, the prisoner is 51 years old. He left his wife and two children at home.
Ukrainian soldiers assume that the man became a victim of Russian propaganda.
