On the territory of Ukraine and under the guise of instructors, hundreds of mercenaries arrive, and recently their number has been increasing. This was stated by the Leader of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, in an interview with RIA Novosti.
“This is not a secret at all, it is official data that hundreds of foreign instructors from NATO countries are on a rotational basis in Ukraine…In addition, outright mercenaries arrive in Ukraine under the guise of instructors,” he said.
The head of the LPR Pasechnik accused Ukraine of trying to hide troops from the OSCE
According to him, people who come to the country under the guise of instructors to learn how to use military equipment are fluent in it and will use these weapons in the event of an escalation.
“It is not at all a fact that these mercenary instructors will pay at least some attention to the orders of Ukrainian commanders. They have their own employers and their own tasks,” added Pasechnik.
He indicated that Kyiv is taking heavy weapons and equipment to the southeast of Ukraine.
