Russia’s foreign mercenaries face mass capture: Ukraine's Rubizh Brigade explains why
The 4th Rubizh Brigade's Kara Nebesna UAV crew commander Andriy Otchenash says that Russia is sending black mercenaries and people of Indian descent to the front
He said this on Espreso TV.
"The situation is quite tense, the Russian army is attacking from absolutely every direction it can, finding and looking for some methods to advance our defense line. Russia is sending a huge number of personnel reserves, not only Russians, but also mercenaries. We have already noticed black people, Indians, and other mercenaries who are ready to destroy our country for money. They are indeed very active in their assault operations, but the Rubizh Brigade is holding the line and they are objectively unsuccessful. Even the small achievements they have are worth absolutely incredible efforts with a huge loss of personnel. The efficiency is absolutely minimal," the military explained.
According to him, mercenaries fighting for Russia do not know how to fight and do not have communication and units because they do not speak the language.
"Sometimes, relatively speaking, some Indian mercenary is told, 'Go there, there is a dugout.' He goes right up to our positions. Because they don't understand Russian, they don't understand each other. This is just another deception. I'm more than sure that these mercenaries were promised much better conditions, better places, and they are just being sent to the meat assaults, to death, where they have absolutely no idea what to do, so they just sit under fire. The best option, of course, is that none of the representatives of other nationalities go to fight for this bloody Russian imperialist regime," says the Kara Nebesna UAV crew commander.
Otchenash said that these mercenaries are captured by Ukrainians and then communicate with them in English, with an interpreter and even with peculiar gestures.
- On June 25, a prisoner exchange took place, as a result of which Ukraine returned 90 more people from Russian captivity.
- On July 9, Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said that he did not believe in the exchange of prisoners of war under the "all for all" formula in the near future, as he did not see Russia's willingness for this.
