A man neither confirmed nor denied whether an individual going viral on social media — allegedly for fighting in Ukraine and reportedly identified as a foreign mercenary with the “16th Rifle Battalion of Ukraine” through their MyKad and driver’s license found on the battlefield between Ukraine and Russia — is a family member. When approached at a residential area in Kangar today, the man, believed to be in his 20s and related to the individual, declined to comment further on the matter, according to a report published in Berita Harian today. “No comment, no comment,” he said briefly. Recently, two photos showing a Malaysian MyKad and driver’s license were circulating on social media, reportedly found on the battlefield between Ukraine and Russia.
The viral individual is allegedly involved as a mercenary in the “16th Rifle Battalion of Ukraine”, currently engaged with Russian forces in Ukraine. The documents showed a registered address in Padang Besar, Perlis. Additionally, the viral images included a passport from another country, believed to belong to someone else present at the location. Both documents were reportedly found after the Russian military captured a Ukrainian stronghold in Livadny, Zaporizhia, Ukraine.
