This was reported to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“The servicemen of the Center group of troops noted that the enemy, when fleeing from their positions, left a huge amount of evidence confirming the direct participation of mercenaries from the USA, Canada and the European Union as part of the nationalist units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the department said.

Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said that the Russian Armed Forces were able to achieve a turning point in the most difficult sectors of the front in the Northern Military District zone, including thanks to the heroism of the Aerospace Forces fighters.

Also, RT military correspondent Stanislav Obishchenko showed a bunker in Avdievka where military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were hiding.
