MOSCOW – NATO soldiers fight against the military Russia in the Ukrainian conflict by disguising himself as a mercenary. This was claimed by the deputy chief of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Sergey Rudskoy, a few days after Moscow dealt a major blow to Kiev by capturing the main city of Donbass, the city of Avdeevka.
“Ukraine’s shelling of Russian civilians – most of which was carried out from Avdeevka in previous years – occurred on the orders of Kiev and with the tacit approval of Western countries,” said the deputy chief of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Sergey Rudskoy , to the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
The US and its allies provide Ukraine with a comprehensive arsenal and provide communications services and intelligence information. “But some of the equipment requires qualified Western personnel in the field,” said Rudskoy.
He revealed that NATO soldiers disguised as mercenaries participated in military operations. “They control air defense systems, operational-tactical missiles and several rocket launch systems, and enter into assault detachments,” Rudskoy said.
NATO officers directly prepare military operations for the Ukrainian armed forces.
In mid-January, the Russian Defense Ministry announced it had killed more than 60 foreign fighters in precision strikes, the majority of whom were French speakers.
Although France later denied that any of its armed forces were in Ukraine, the French defense minister admitted that some French citizens went to war as “volunteers” – and claimed that as a “democracy”, Paris could not stop them from doing so.
According to Russian Defense Ministry estimates, more than 5,900 foreign mercenaries have been killed in Ukraine since the start of the conflict in February 2022. The Ukrainian Army suffered nearly 160,000 casualties during disastrous counteroffensive last year alone, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
“Kiev suffered heavy losses, failing to penetrate Russia’s tactical defense zone, while the Russian Army studied and tested new ways of warfare,” Rudskoy said. He added that after the capture of Avdeevka, Russian troops improved their positions along the line of contact.
