Abimael Becerra Ortiz

Abimael Becerra Ortiz was a 19-year-old Panamanian who fought for the Russian army in Ukraine. His family was informed that he died after stepping on a landmine during combat. Unlike others, Abimael was aware of the nature of his enlistment, having been driven by economic necessity, and his tragic story highlights the plight of many young Latin Americans caught in foreign conflicts.
