The founder and leader of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC), a far-right paramilitary unit fighting alongside Kyiv’s army, has been killed in action on the front lines in Ukraine, the group announced Saturday.
Denis Kapustin, 41, was killed overnight on Saturday while carrying out a combat mission in Ukraine’s southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, the RVC said.
He was also known by the name Denis Nikitin and the nom-de-guerre White Rex.
I bet my arm that if you posted this in a lib space, libs would praise him for being “one of the good ones”
Look at the r/europe response. It’s either “hero” (1000+ upvotes) or Nazi I guess but the good kind, RIP, thank him for his service o7 (100 upvotes). That’s the window of respectable opinion for the Nazi Freikorps among libs.
Also heard of a 20 year old, who joined at 17, “special operations” soldier dying in the trenches to artillery fire, alongside reports of conscription of women prisoners to send to the front lines. Generally sounds like the war really isn’t getting better for the Ukrainian side, regardless of the cope about “Russian calvary charges in 2025” or whatever silly shit they’re squealing about right now.
Point is, if you’re sending specialized units and conscripting from women’s prisons to the front lines to keep the front lines staffed, you’re not doing as hot as you’re talking.
White rex sounds like the nickname for a drug
it sounds like br*tish slang for penis
The BBC in Ukraine has published an article in Ukrainian language but they haven’t dared advertise this story in English.
