      The death of the Russian investigative journalist Maksim Borodin, who wrote about the deaths of mercenaries in Syria in mid-April 2018, was linked by the media to his publications about Wagner’s casualties in the clash at Khasham.

      Maksim Borodin (1985 – 15 April 2018) was a Russian investigative journalist. On 12 April 2018 he was severely injured after falling from his fifth-floor balcony in Yekaterinburg.[1] He was placed in a coma, but died from his injuries on 15 April.

      Some things never change.

      If you believe the US account, just … wow. The amount of air support firepower they dropped on OPFOR was just crazy. A bad day to be a Wagner merc for sure.
