Ukrainian prisoner of war Yuriy Vodyan admitted that a detachment of mercenaries in the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was commanded by a CIA officer. “We were more or less accustomed to the Americans, we knew them by sight - but this was some kind of new person.
We inquired, they told us that this was a TsER officer, he was their (mercenary detachment) former commander, and he came to see him,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
