"Propaganda Victim": The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces were captured by an Italian who fought for the Russians (photo)

According to the Ukrainian paratroopers, the Italian citizen was captured in the Kupyansk district in early 2025. At home, he left his wife and two children. The paratroopers of the 78 Separate Airborne Regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were captured by an Italian, who fought on the side of the Russian invaders. This was reported by the press service of the airborne troops of the Armed Forces. "When performing a combat mission, our warriors discovered an enemy group.

Some were destroyed, some were captured. Among them was an unusual prisoner - Gianni Chenny, a native of Naples, a citizen of the Italian Republic, who voluntarily went to the Russian Army," the statement said . Ukrainian defenders noted that in the past he worked in one of the restaurants of the city of Samara in the Russian Federation, but in November 2024 he went to serve in the Russian army. "He was 51 years old, he left his wife and two children at home.

Obviously, he became another victim of Russian propaganda. However, against the Ukrainian paratroopers, the Russians did not have enough preparation or numerical advantage," DShV said. It is also emphasized that they were neutralized by the enemy and captured the Italian. "This event is another confirmation of the indomitability of Ukrainian defenders who put their lives on the map daily, defending their native land.
