“I have seen these messages.
I will say that these reports have not been confirmed, ”RIA Novosti quotes his words in response to a question about an American mercenary allegedly killed in the Artyomovsk region.
Price noted that the State Department had previously noted possible disinformation circulating regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
Earlier, Andrey Marochko, an officer of the People's Militia of the LPR, said that foreign mercenaries began to refuse to go to Artyomovsk because of the difficult situation on this sector of the front in the Donbass.
On December 8, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that more than 90 Polish mercenaries were destroyed by a strike with precision-guided weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the Kharkov region.
In November, the NBC television channel reported that an American mercenary who participated in hostilities on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of the so-called Foreign Legion died in Ukraine.
