Ex-Wagner commander arrested in Norway for attempting return to Russia
“The main thing is to aim where needed. They hate our hardware. That's what we gather from our intercepts. We hear that we keep giving them hell and they keep wondering how much ammunition we have left.”
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy and senior officials have hailed the advances and rejected criticism in the West that the counteroffensive is progressing too slowly. Police said in a statement late on Friday that a man in his 20s had been taken into custody for attempting to illegally cross the Russian border, but did not name him. An officer with the Finnmark local police declined to give the arrested man’s identity.But Mr Medvedev’s arrest was due to a misunderstanding, his Norwegian lawyer Brynjulf Risnes said.
His escape in January made headlines around the world as a rare example at the time of someone defecting to a western country while claiming to have fought for Russia as a mercenary in the Ukraine war.
