Shawn Ryan Interviews an Enemy Combatant 😳

He has since left Wagner, authored a book, and is seeking asylum in France while expressing opposition to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Summary
This transcript appears to be the opening segment of an interview with Barrage Gabulan, a former military operative with a complex background spanning multiple conflicts and allegiances. Born in Uzbekistan, Gabulan began his military career as a paratrooper officer in the Soviet military, where he commanded a reconnaissance company. His military journey later led him to join Russia's Wagner Group, the notorious private military company, where he was deployed to Syria to fight against ISIS. During his time with Wagner, Gabulan worked in close proximity to the group's leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, and was involved in advising the 'ISIS hunters' - specialized units targeting the terrorist organization. His military experience in Syria included participation in the Battle of Kasham, a significant engagement where Wagner forces clashed with US and Kurdish forces. Eventually, Gabulan made the decision to leave Wagner Group and has since relocated to France, where he is currently seeking political asylum. He has also authored a book about his experiences. The interview setup suggests that Gabulan has previously expressed critical views regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, setting the stage for what appears to be a potentially revealing conversation with someone who has insider knowledge of Russian military operations.
