A Moscow court has ruled to arrest in absentia Conor Kennedy, who is the great-nephew of the 35th US President John F. Kennedy.
This is stated in a publication by ASTRA, which is referenced by Censor.NET .
Prosecution for participation in hostilities
Russia accuses an American of being a mercenary because of his service on the side of Ukraine. According to the publication, the foreign volunteer is accused of participating in hostilities as part of the International Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Conor Kennedy himself previously said that he went to the front almost secretly and only told one person in Ukraine his real name to avoid special treatment.
Frontline experience and assessment of the war
The American noted that he had no military experience and was not a great marksman, but he was a quick learner and could carry heavy things. He was agreed to be sent to the northeastern front.
Ukraine is currently defended by about 16,000 foreign volunteers from at least 72 countries around the world. Military Ombudsman Olga Reshetylova previously reported this. Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n4018136

He doesn’t seem too concerned about threats from mafia land. If he had been an American nobody, this would have amounted to nothing.
Hopefully Ukraine can recruit at minimum 34,000 more foreign fighters.
