According to him, according to RIA Novosti, if the military from Austria or the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance are dismissed from service and become mercenaries, they can no longer be considered representatives of the Armed Forces of their states.
On the territory of Ukraine there are a large number of mercenaries, not NATO soldiers, Reisner added.
On January 29, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine testifies to the direct participation of the United States in the conflict.
A military expert, retired LPR Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Marochko, said that mercenaries from NATO countries may be involved in the missile attack on the hospital in Novoaidar.
