American Daniel Richard Martindale received a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation

Daniel Richard Martindale, a native of New York (USA), received a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation in Moscow, as well as the Order of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) for assisting the Russian army in a special operation.

In the period from 2022 to 2024, the man, while in the territory controlled by the Kiev regime, provided the Russian side with information about the locations of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) . In November 2024, he was evacuated from the war zone.

The event was attended by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, as well as the Deputy head of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Major General Gennady Kudryashov.

Last November, Martindale told how he had been helping with information for the Russian Armed Forces for two years. At the same time, information received from a US citizen has been used many times to attack the infrastructure, equipment and personnel of the Ukrainian army. The American also shared that the Ukrainian militants see no point in continuing armed operations.
