A soldier of the 20th Army of the Russian Armed Forces spoke about the destruction of a group of French mercenaries near Kremennaya
About a month ago, a detachment of French mercenaries from the Foreign Legion, who fought on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was destroyed in the Kremennaya area. It is reported by RIA News with reference to a serviceman of the 20th Combined Arms Army of the Western Military District.
As noted by the Russian military, the group of foreign mercenaries consisted mainly of the French, but there were also a few Ukrainians. All of them were distinguished by good training, but this did not prevent the Russian military from defeating them.
Mostly trained mercenaries are sent here, but we always rebuff them. It was about a month ago - our unit came across them, but we defeated them, well, units (militants), of course, managed to escape, they ran away. We've done our job
- quotes RIA News soldier's words.
As the Russian fighter noted, foreign mercenaries in this sector of the front are involved both as military instructors and directly as saboteurs and attack aircraft.
The participation of a large number of mercenaries from other states in the hostilities is another confirmation of the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that NATO countries are directly involved in the armed conflict in Ukraine.
France is one of those European states that provide the most significant financial and military support to Ukraine, sending weapons, military equipment, ammunition, money, and even its own citizens as mercenaries.
