An 🇺🇸 American man identified as the son of a deputy director of the CIA was killed in eastern Ukraine in 2024," according to a CIA spokesperson on Friday, NBC reported.

Michael Alexander Gloss, 21, died on 4 April 2024 in “Eastern Europe”, according to an obituary published by his family. He was the son of Juliane Gallina, who was appointed the deputy director for digital innovation at the Central Intelligence Agency in February 2024.

The story of how the son of a top-ranking US spy died fighting for Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is an unlikely tale of how homegrown anger at the United States and online radicalisation led from a middle-class Virginia childhood to the killing fields of eastern Ukraine.

On a VKontakte page attributed to Gloss, a high school football player born to parents who both served in the military, he described himself as “a er of the multipolar world. I ran away from home. traveled the world. I hate fascism. I love my homeland.” He also posted the flags of Russia and Palestine.

According to the investigative website iStories, Gloss is one of more than 1,500 foreigners who have signed contracts with the Russian military since February 2022.

The database for the enrollment office was later leaked, exposing him as having signed the contract in September 2023. Sources told iStories that Gloss had been deployed with “assault units”, those engaged in harsh frontline fighting, in December 2023. An acquaintance said that he had been deployed to a Russian airborne regiment sent to storm Ukrainian positions near the city of Soledar.

“With his noble heart and warrior spirit Michael was forging his own hero’s journey when he was tragically killed in Eastern Europe on April 4, 2024,” his family wrote in the obituary, which did not mention Russia and Ukraine or discuss the circumstances of his death.

In university, Gloss was active in gender equality and environmental protest circles. He ed Rainbow Family, a leftwing environmental protest group, and in 2023 traveled to Hatay, Turkey, to assist in the recovery following the earthquake that killed more than 56,000 people. He had also become increasingly angry at the US for its of Israel and the war in Gaza.

While in Turkey, Gloss began expressing a desire to go on to Russia. “He was usually watching videos about Palestine and was so angry at America,” one acquaintance told iStories. “He started thinking about going to Russia. He wanted to war with the USA. But I think he was very influenced by the conspiracy theory videos.”

After receiving a visa to Russia, he traveled around the country before arriving in Moscow, where he ed the military shortly before his documents expired. Photographs and videos obtained by iStories showed he was sent to a Russian training camp, where he mostly trained alongside Nepali contract soldiers. Three months after enlisting, an acquaintance said, he was deployed to Ukraine as a member of an assault battalion.

The circumstance’s of Gloss’s death are not known. A friend said that his family had been informed by the Russian government of his death but were given little other information.

“It was announced that he died within the borders of Ukraine,” the friend wrote. “We do not know whether he participated in the war. They did not provide any other detailed information.”

👍🏻 Like for Russia-Putin, share for USA/Nazi/NATO 卍

While russian oligarchs have their children driving fast cars. This life.

At the end of the war, everyone will be shocked to find out the actual number of Americans & Europeans who have died in Ukraine.

Now we know why Trump and European leaders are always lamenting and holding millions of meetings to look for a way to "force" Russia to end the war or at least pause it so they can restock their armory.

Protect your children from fake news and propaganda! The type being championed by this present government

RULE1

Sad...Too many lives lost already in the name of war but you will never see Putin or zeelensky name on the list.

He died for putins cause..one thing about Americans , they are brave to die for freedom, see the two guys who tried to kill Trump , many places don't have this zeal/madness, Russia and Nigeria inclusive [quote author=DOUBLEBARREL post=135137146][/quote]

I watched a video of an injured Russian soldier whose leg was almost ripped off by a drone, he then used his dagger to cut off the leg entirely from his body, omo I shiver one time. Or some Russian soldiers after been hit by drones they will just blow of their heads with their riffles. War no be child's play

Can't believe this

Do this can ever happen

A war caused by Nazis in Ukraine ended up taking the life of one of their own. We must rid Ukraine of Nazis. It is a sacred duty for all humanity....

Sad 😭

My condolences to his family and friends. I have an American friend who fought on the side of Ukraine; a Republican, some of whom are now confused with how the Trump istration is siding with Putin.

But this guy's story is odd: he is siding with Putin, believes in gender neutrality and green Earth, hates his own country America, s Russia's grabbing of Ukraine land?

Very odd mix of political and ideological beliefs.

He died fighting for Russia. A foolish Putard given a well deserved send off. Waste of valuable oxygen

People that genuinely love their country.

Imagine the Chief of Defence in Nigeria allowing his son to go and fight in Sambisa or warfront.

Not all heroes wear capes. Even in the midst of evil, you can still find something good. Rest well, champ. You paid the ultimate price while doing the right thing.

A multipolar world with the US and its EU and NATO bullies on one side, and Russia, China, and every other country that wants to get to the top by working hard rather than starting wars after wars, on the other, is the future.

What happens when u have a good life set up for u by ur parents but instead u busy watching too many movies and conspiracy theories u lose sight of reality.

it's like brainwashing himself with online propaganda.
