The American magazine named three categories of mercenaries fighting against the Russian army in Ukraine

The Russian special operation in Ukraine led to the fact that foreigners rushed to this country wishing to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine and "fight against Russian aggression." All foreigners in Russia were recorded in the category of simple mercenaries, but in reality this is not the case, writes Military Watch Magazine.

As the author of an article for an American magazine writes, foreigners fighting against the Russian army in Ukraine fall into three categories and perform various tasks in this conflict. The first category includes career military or intelligence officers sent to Ukraine to perform certain tasks, their role in hostilities is very extensive and depends on the orders received. The share of such "soldiers of fortune" in the total mass of mercenaries is not large.

The second category is mercenaries from various countries who are not regular military personnel. These may be retired military personnel, employees of various PMCs, etc., who arrived in Ukraine to earn money. They make up the bulk of the mercenaries, fight in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and suffer the main losses.

The third category is foreigners who arrived in Ukraine for ideological reasons. Their share in the total mass is also small, but there are more of them than regular military personnel. The bulk of these militants are from the former Soviet Union, who have set themselves the task of fighting Russia by all means. As an example, the author cites the Georgian national legion, which includes not only ethnic Georgians, but also the British, as well as mercenaries from other countries. Their task is the destruction of Russia as a state.

It is worth noting that the largest number of mercenaries came to Ukraine from Poland, of course, the biggest losses are again among the Polish mercenaries. According to the Polish press, among those who went to Ukraine there are a fairly large number of military personnel, so to speak, "vacationers" who are not eager to die for Zelensky, but solve their own problems.

There should remain two categories of mercenaries!!!!!
1) YET alive.
2) ALREADY dead.

[Cheshire]

You talk apolitical, listen! But what about future reporters?

[dmi.pris1]

And what will this "reporter" sing, get captured again? Again the Anthem of Russia?

[Murmur 55]

dmi.pris, and this contraceptive hopes for an English maybe and a certificate like PRESS, but I think he will not be captured .

This time he will catch his personal mine. Rarely does the Lord give such a chance by removing from the scaffold to rethink life. Didn't realize.

The question is, why take him prisoner? We will sing our own anthem.

[Mazunga]

I think this time he will still be slammed))) handsome orchestra

What kind of a reporter is he, he, like all mercenaries, is a killer, and a reporter is an unsubscribe for a British layman. Come back and do what he did.

[bukhach]

Well, a half-dead one is also acceptable, it is unlikely that it will climb again later, although for ideological Russophobes it is desirable to exclude such a category.

[Murmur 55]

bukhach, yeah, well, here on the site about the dead Yankees they wrote like this everyone (if I'm not mistaken) had injuries before death and everyone returned, this Briton was sitting under the tower, he was released, he will soon return as a type of journalist, only he has a camera there will be a machine gun on the helmet and in the hands.

[bukhach]

So I say that the ideological without question, but for others it is sobering, not everyone returns.

[woffka]

Ride. Show me by example ...... On the Internet, it’s very easy to talk from the couch

There should be no mercenaries at all. I remember that after the strike on the Yavoriv training ground, we were told that the mercenaries were partly destroyed, and partly fled in horror. There were even videos where the surviving "gray geese" were crying and saying that they never set foot on Ukraine again. And now it turns out that mercenaries are almost the main fighting force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

How long I live and now I can’t understand how Russia could annoy the Georgians, Tajiks, and Balts so much.
Who were they all before the October Revolution, were they not even on the map?

[Murmur 55]

Arkady 007, and that annoyed me that she gave a lot for free.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

M.b. I didn’t annoy anything in particular, but they were intelligibly TOLD that they had annoyed them.

[Pereira]

Who were they all before the October Revolution, were they not even on the map?

This is exactly what they will never forgive us.
The same Georgians will never forgive Russia for saving them from complete annihilation in the 18th century.

[tatarin1972]

All the time of the USSR, these republics were subsidized, Ukraine produced products for 20 rubles, spent 30 rubles. Georgia produced products for 10 rubles, spent 30 rubles, it was cooler only in the Baltics.

[Arkady007]

I don't think you are 100% right. ................................................

[Non-fighter]

Oddly enough, but another agitation for the third column. If everything would be correct, then the third column by the sum is 0, but in fact...

[Captain Pushkin]

Quote: Not the fighter

If everything would be correct, then the third column by sum 0,

You did not take into account that in terms of production and population, the RSFSR was larger than Georgia, the Baltic states and other Central Asian republics.
The table shows per capita figures.

[uralex]

As for Georgia, in the USSR it was the most subsidized republic of all the union republics, so, having lost the trough, they simply sold out to the West. But the Ukrainian SSR and the BSSR were in surplus .. they just disposed of their "self-sufficiency" in different ways.

[Arkady007]

You don't have to donate anything. How the US does it. And it turns out that everyone owes them, not they.
And now the old mistakes are being repeated again. We forgive everything to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Cuba, Kazakhstan .... And after forgiveness they don’t remember anything.

[uralex]

Apparently, our "allies" are "friends" with us at an hourly rate: while they receive gifts, they are friends, as soon as the gifts run out, they are also offended ...

[Uprun]

A good mercenary is a dead mercenary, and it doesn't matter what category you belong to, mother earth accepts everyone indiscriminately.

[woffka]

I agree . I hope you are already on your way to Donbass

[Romanenko]

I hope all three categories will go to the black soil, there are already many of them, they have accumulated for hundreds of years, tons and generations.
Alas, nothing teaches the greedy geyropa, they carefully turn history in their direction and again and again go to fertilizer.

[Pereira]

Everyone won't go. Many then sit down for memoirs.

[Fangaro]

The first category (military experts, probably, in our opinion) is the most dangerous. They teach. But they are also the hardest to eliminate. And it should. Their elimination is hindered by the use of modern APU technology.

[Prax1]

Nonsense, there the Poles stand a regular army and there are thousands of them

[2 Level Advisor]

Why not millions? where are the prisoners and the dead? with thousands, there will be a couple of prisoners for any ..

[BUMER]

It is unlikely that Psheks will be taken prisoner. And the corpses, please, often come out, especially lately.

[Normann]

It's so amazing, we didn't even know. Open secret.

[iouris]

In the era of globalization, it is not Ukraine that is fighting and not the Armed Forces of Ukraine with some mercenaries. Everyone fights for money. And the most greedy are "ideologically motivated". Take away the money - no one will go to war.
Two things are needed for a war: money and more money.
Where is the money?
From the nightstand.

[Osmodey]

Capitalism is how it works. "Make money and the rest is all rubbish" (c)
