“As Viktor Zolotov noted, the enemy has seen an increase in the number of mercenaries from Europe in the NVO zone,” Interfax quoted the service as saying.

The head of the National Guard emphasized that they have extensive experience in participating in armed conflicts in various countries of the world, as well as relevant training. 

Zolotov noted that during the clashes, the employees of the Russian Guard demonstrate a higher level of professionalism and skill.

Earlier in his social networks, the founder of PMC Andrew Milbourne said that Mozart was ceasing operations in Ukraine under this name.

Milburn also said that the mercenaries from this PMC will remain in Ukraine under a new name.

In December, Milbourne reported that the Ukrainian army was suffering heavy losses, in particular, this concerns the Artyomovsky direction.
