Vladimir Rogov, Member of the Presidential Council of the Zaporozhye Regional Administration, said that the number of foreign mercenaries fighting on the side of Ukraine in the city of Zaporozhye has already exceeded a thousand people.
Sputnik news agency quoted Rogov as saying in an interview on Solovyov Live channel: “The number of mercenaries in the Foreign Legion is no longer estimated in hundreds, but has already exceeded a thousand mercenaries… They include mercenaries from Georgia, Poland and other nationalities.”
Rogov also revealed the participation of Arab mercenaries from ISIS and Al-Nusra Front in the hostilities in the ranks of the Kyiv regime forces in the region, where the Turks transferred some of them and others were brought by the Americans, and in total there are fighters from 34 countries in the territory of the Zaporozhye region, which is confirmed by Russian intelligence data.
About 700 soldiers of the Ukrainian army may try to take control of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in the near future, Rogov said, as their preparations can already be seen to attack and seize the plant as they have deployed armored boats and a group of tens of thousands of people on the line of contact.
Rogov added: About 300 soldiers recently arrived in the area and are currently training to control the Dnieper River area and seize large targets such as the Zaporozhye station, explaining that the intelligence information indicates that the task of the forces is to advance to the city of Berdyansk and cut off the Russian forces from the land route to the Crimea and attack the station.
