Armen Balian, a 36-year-old Armenian citizen, has been detained by Russian authorities after serving as a mercenary alongside Ukrainian forces against Russian military aggression.
The Russian Investigative Committee states that Balian recruited and participated as a mercenary in armed conflicts in Ukraine, after traveling there through Moldova.
Balian reportedly admitted his involvement in the Ukrainian military efforts, serving in various regions impacted by the conflict, including Donetsk and Kherson.
The ongoing investigation into Balian's case raises questions about the legal implications for foreign fighters involved in the Ukraine conflict.
