A retired U.S. Army Special Forces soldier who worked alongside Ukrainians and died in an artillery barrage earlier this week said he felt 'compelled to come help' during an interview with NBCNews in February.
KYIV, Ukraine — A retired U.S. Army Special Forces soldier who worked alongside the Ukrainians and died in an artillery barrage in Bakhmut earlier this week told NBC News in a February interview that he felt “compelled to come help.”
He was working to “give them the tools that they need to defeat the Russians,” he said in a wide-ranging interview, in which he discussed training strategies, the capabilities of the volunteers, the spirit of those he trained and his 14-hour working days. During his service, Maimer earned multiple awards and decorations, including the Special Forces Tab, Army Commendation Medal and four Army Achievement Medals.
“Let me just note though that, as part of the conflict in Ukraine, Russia, including its Wagner forces, have an obligation under the Geneva Convention to respect the dead, including from disrespectful and degrading acts,” Patel said at a briefing on Tuesday.
