Police captured a titled Russian rugby player

During a special operation, air reconnaissance of the 'Predator' police patrol brigade detained former Russian national rugby player named Andrei.

The capture of the 43-year-old fighter nicknamed 'Rugby Player' in the brigade was assessed as incredible and hard to coordinate.

The operation began when two Russian stormtroopers approached the positions. After a successful drone strike of bombing type, one of them was killed, and the other, known as 'Rugby Player' from Kazan, then surrendered and was handed over to Ukrainian military forces.

In addition to his achievements in rugby, Andrei had his own cryptocurrency firm, which went bankrupt, leaving the owner with a debt of 6 million rubles. The divorced athlete, who has two children, decided to go to war at the advice of his new girlfriend, hoping to 'earn' some money.

The 'Rugby Player' himself stated that he did not wish to kill Ukrainians but does not want to be exchanged, as he knows he will be sent back to die again.
