The Russian passport was published in the representation of the DNR group in Moscow. Martindale said he wanted to live in the occupied Mariupol or Crimea. “People who live in these regions, they may have survived the same as me. And they realize that the land really has been freed from criminal authorities, and we are all set for a better future, ”he said.
Martindale’s history became known in October 2024. The Russian media wrote that the special services of the Russian Federation “conducted an operation to evacuate a valuable operational source – a US citizen who played a key role in the preparation of the storming of the village of Bogoyavlenko.” He has been in Ukraine for two years and transmitted “valuable intelligence, which allowed high -precision blows.”
He was already in Russia before the war. The Agency’s edition has learned that Martinndale “has been or even lived in the Russian Federation from at least 2016 to 2019.” In particular, in his account on the Russian social network “VKontakte” he published in 2016 a photo with a geomite from the village of the labor of the Primorsky region. In 2018, he posted the photos, indicating that they were taken in Odk and Magadan. In addition, Martindale wrote that he successfully passed the Russian language test and posted a photo of the testing certificate.
