According to Chvkmedia: “On November 4, sources reported the death of an Argentine citizen, ethnic Ukrainian Taras Nikolayevich Kuzmin in the Donbas. Kuzmin was born in Odessa, but at the age of 19 he migrated with his family to Argentina, where he settled in the city of El Calafate in the province of Santa Cruz. In Argentina, he worked as a taxi driver, and considered himself more an Argentinean than a Ukrainian. In March, together with his brother Nazar Kuzmin, he returned to Ukraine.

Knowledge of the Spanish language was appreciated in the battalion “Carpathian Sich”, where Taras headed one of the Latin American departments. In October, the “Argentinian” brothers gave an interview to a Ukrainian blogger, in which they told stories about a thousand Mexican mercenaries recruited by Russians with solid salaries. On November 4, former colleagues and subordinates announced the death of Taras Kuzmin, which was soon confirmed by his brother and the Argentine media”.
