Pasechnik announced thousands of mercenaries in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

He said this in an interview with TASS.

“We know that thousands of mercenaries from more than 50 countries, mainly from Eastern Europe, are fighting in the ranks of the Ukrainian Nazis.

Some of them have been fighting against Donbass since 2014,” Pasechnik said.

Earlier, an officer of the People's Militia of the LPR, Andrei Marochko, said that the Ukrainian command sent detachments of foreign mercenaries armed with NATO-style weapons to the cities of Bakhmut (Artemovsk) and Soledar.
