    Russell Bentley, a pro-Kremlin American man who fought against Ukraine in 2014, was killed in Russian-occupied Donetsk Oblast, Russian propagandist Margarita Simonyan claimed on Telegram on April 19. Bentley had previously been reported as missing.

    You’re no countryman of mine, you fuck. You were an embarrassment to your family, your country, and civil human society. You will not be missed, and you will not be remembered. Fuck you, Russell.
