Spriter99880/Twitter Warner Group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin (left) said the American citizen died in battle and promised to return his body to his family. A screenshot from a video shot by pro-Russian war correspondent Alexander Simonov shows what appears to be the body of a US veteran who was killed fighting in Bakhmut. “So we will hand him over to the United States of America, we’ll put him in a coffin, drape him with the American flag with respect because he did not die in his bed as a grandpa but he died at war and most likely a worthy, right?” Prigozhin says.Īnother Wagner mercenary chimes in that the man died returning fire as he tried to retreat. The Idaho Statesman reported Tuesday that the man in the video is 45-year-old Army Special Forces veteran Nick Maimer, who had spent the past year in Ukraine training civilian volunteers. Prigozhin shows what appears to be the slain soldier’s US-issued ID card with his photo and reads aloud his name, “Nicholas.” In a graphic nighttime video that was shared on the Wagner Group’s Telegram channel Tuesday, Yevgeny Prigozhin leads pro-Russian war blogger Alexander Simonov to a shelter on the western side of Bakhmut and shows him the body of a man lying motionless on his back with a visible injury to the right side of his partially exposed torso. The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group displayed what he claimed were the body and identification documents of a former US Army Green Beret who he said was killed fighting on the side of Ukraine in Bakhmut.
