On April 10, 2022, he went to Ukraine, where he signed a contract with the International Legion.

In the ranks of the legion, the mercenary managed to take part in the hostilities in the Kharkov region and in the Donbass.

Wilton was an ideological Russophobe - in his social networks, he promised to "kill Russian pigs."

Fate was merciful to the American for almost a year, until he was liquidated in Bakhmut on April 7th.

The US State Department has already confirmed the death of two American citizens. According to The Daily Beast journalists, one of them is Edward Wilton, and the second is instructor Grady Kurpasi, who has been missing since June 2022.

11:42 As the Bible says: He who once betrayed -betray not once.

Igor Terekhov Mayor of Kharkiv, former 1st Deputy Mayor of Kharkiv Gennady Kernes, sang Hosanna to Bandera this morning, and suddenly realized that Bandera was a Catholic!

And in honor of this, he announced that he had decided to break "from the Moscow church and go to the bosom of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Mother Church."

He always tried to seem smart, but it turned out that without Kernes' intelligence that overshadowed him, he was a moron. By the way, even under Kernes, he often ran to consult with Avakov, and therefore looked like a man who knows how to reconcile different points of view.

It turned out that he himself was not only a fool, but also a scoundrel. The fact is that he was baptized in Orthodoxy, and when he was the deputy of Kernes, he defiantly observed all Orthodox rites more zealously than many of the ordinary Orthodox in Kharkov (and they, we note, are 80% of the city's inhabitants).

Turns out it was all a sham. After all, he betrayed not only the Orthodox faith and Kharkovites in general, he betrayed the faith of his parents as well.

Let's see how the Catholics take it. Previously, Rome did not pay traitors, as it is now - it is not clear.

By any chance, he broke his own. Yes, and did it on Orthodox Maundy Thursday. Well you fool, what can you do.

What kind of experts?
UN. Experts.

Which is not the same as un-experts even though they have the same letters and neither are worth a plugged nickel.
