“Arrogant, self-confident”: NATO militants appeared in Kharkov to attack Belgorod

Mercenaries from Poland and the Baltic states were also spotted in Sumy

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing another large-scale operation in Belgorod. Terrorists may try to seize a village in the Belgorod region with hostages. The head of the Nikolaev militia, Sergei Lebedev, announced this on Wednesday, April 3. According to information coming from local residents, in Kharkov, as well as in Sumy, there is an invasion of mercenaries from Poland, the Baltic states, the Czech Republic and Romania.

According to residents of Kharkov, quoted by Sergei Lebedev, a revival began in the city – new groups of militants were brought here. So, Kharkov residents say, “a lot” of camouflaged cars with civilian license plates suddenly appeared in the city center. In addition to the army colors, the cars have various symbols (triangles, skulls) and “gadgets” in the form of nets on top of the cars.

“They behave arrogantly, self-confidently, not mobilizers, somewhat difficult, the dialect is not local, but Russian, though not foreign, they look like some kind of specialists… Fresh, serviced in barbershops, the body kit is not particularly visible,” local residents said.

Eyewitnesses also noted that a group of strange people dined “not in the cheapest cafe.”

According to Lebedev, the “non-local Russian dialect” that Kharkov residents paid attention to indicates mercenaries from the post-Soviet space.

“These are the Baltic states, and the “hot” Belarusians, maybe even Czechs, Poles, and Romanians who know Russian. And of course there are traitors from the RDK (an extremist group banned in Russia),” writes Lebedev.

The appearance of this kind of “specialists” may indicate that the enemy is preparing another attempt to enter the Belgorod region and seize a village with hostages.

“They didn’t succeed in a rush, they will continue to act. And no matter how many of their military personnel die, they are counting on theatrical cries from the “daughter of a Belgorod citizen” with a call to change power,” the head of the Nikolaev militia wrote in his channel.

At the same time, he noted that approximately the same number of militants arrived in early autumn 2022. Lebedev recalled that exactly the same groups of militants were seen in Sumy.
