The law enforcement agency said in a statement that when examining the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ​​the Zarya explosives plant, “evidence was found of the presence in the city of foreign instructors from the United States and Poland, who led the operation to defend the city and the plant.” 

“You can see evidence that it is not Ukraine that is fighting with us at all, but only Polish mercenaries at the hands of Ukrainians,” said a serviceman of the People’s Militia with the call sign Almaz.

Earlier it became known that the forces of the Lugansk People's Republic liberated a large chemical plant "Zarya" in Rubizhne, and a complete cleaning of the industrial zone was carried out.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that the defense of the plant "has undergone a complete collapse."

According to the British tabloid Daily Express, at least three British former soldiers with combat experience in Afghanistan are blocked at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.
