“Funding of this Belarusian unit came from Poland, from Great Britain… And from the Baltic States they rushed to pay their bills, and from Germany they paid, from Romania,” he told RIA Novosti.
Kiselyov noted that the said armed formation included mercenaries from Belarus.
In early July, President of the Republic Alexander Lukashenko announced the death of 20 Belarusians who participated in the hostilities on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
They came under artillery fire.
Later, the LPR announced that the Belarusian nationalist Ivan Marchuk, who fought on the side of Kyiv, was liquidated near Lisichansk.
