Apty Alaudinov, deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the People’s Militia of the Lugansk People’s Republic, said in an interview with TASS that the units of the Ukrainian army in the Svatov and Kremensk directions are almost entirely composed of foreign mercenaries.
“There are almost no Ukrainians anymore,” the Akhmat special forces commander’s agency quotes.
According to Alaudinov, the units that are in these directions in the LPR “are trying to carry out a counterattack, they, one might say, are almost 100% mercenaries.”
He also clarified that “these are regular military personnel directly from the member states of the NATO bloc.” The reason for such personnel decisions, according to him, is that “Ukraine is not able to field such a number of military personnel on the front line” due to huge losses.
The bulk of the mercenaries in the ranks of the Ukrainian army, according to Alaudinov, are Poles who pretend to be volunteers, but in fact are regular servicemen of the Polish Armed Forces.
