In recent weeks, Russia has transferred mercenaries to the temporarily occupied territories of Donbass. Their goal is to commit sabotage against Ukraine.
Writes about it Reuters… The publication notes that it received such information from four militants, three of whom accepted the recruiters’ offer.
The interlocutors said that the mercenaries were recruited with combat experience. At the same time, the employers did not specify on whose behalf they are acting.
One of the militants previously fought on the side of the occupiers in Donbass, as well as as part of Russian private military companies in Syria. Now he plans to go to the occupied territories of the Luhansk region.
Among the tasks of the mercenaries – sabotage and destabilization of the situation in Ukraine.
