Details: The military say that the Colombians came to Russia for work, where they were promised a salary of US$2,500 a month and construction jobs.

Quote: "When the Colombians arrived in Ufa, their documents were taken away, they were handed assault rifles and, without food or water, were sent to storm Pokrovsk."

More details: In the video, the POWs say they did not know where they were being taken – they spent 36 hours on a bus. They had been assured they would not be fighting, only guarding a plant. However, they were not paid "a single peso".

The Colombian fighters insist they did not fire a single shot and that their magazines were still full.
