How many foreign mercenaries are fighting on the side of the Kiev regime

Over the past three weeks, as a result of the offensive actions of the Russian Army and units of the People's Мilitia of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, the number of mercenaries on the territory of the former Ukraine has decreased from 3,221 to 2,741, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

MOSCOW (Realist English). Against the backdrop of the growing number of military failures of the Kiev regime and massive daily losses in manpower and equipment, the flow of foreign mercenaries to the territory of the former Ukraine has not only decreased, but is actually turning in the opposite direction.

The Russian Defense Ministry tracks and records by name all foreign mercenaries who have arrived to participate in hostilities on the side of the Kiev regime. Contrary to the false statements of representatives of the Kiev regime about the presence of alleged 20 thousand foreign mercenaries who have arrived on the territory of the former Ukraine, their real number is an order of magnitude smaller. Moreover, it is steadily declining.

“Over the past three weeks, as a result of the offensive actions of the Russian Armed Forces and units of the People’s Militia of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, the number of mercenaries in Ukraine has decreased from 3,221 to 2,741,” the Russian military department reported.

During this time, despite the arrival of another 151 mercenaries, 391 militants were destroyed. Another 240 “wild geese” hastened to retreat beyond the limits of the territory of the former Ukraine.

The Russian Defense Ministry noted that “the primacy in terms of the speed and number of militants’ losses” over the past period belongs again to representatives of Poland — 166 Polish militants have been eliminated. Among the representatives of Georgia, 50 “soldiers of fortune” were destroyed, the UK lost 23 more mercenaries killed in Ukraine. Also, 21 Romanian and 15 Canadian militants were killed in three weeks.
