Moscow - Saba:
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that Russian army personnel targeted a temporary deployment point of foreign mercenaries affiliated with the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Zaporizhzhia region using Russian "Geran" drones.
According to a statement reported by Sputnik, the ministry said:
"Geran-2 drone crews destroyed a temporary deployment point of foreign mercenaries in the Meridian Center area of the Zaporizhzhia region."
The ministry further explained that drone production workshops and components were also targeted in the village of Konotop in the Sumy region.
The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly stated that the Kyiv regime uses foreign mercenaries as "cannon fodder," and that the Russian army will continue to eliminate them across Ukraine.
Many of those who came to fight for money have admitted in various interviews that the Ukrainian army failed to coordinate their actions effectively, and that the chances of surviving combat were low.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova had previously stated that the West has effectively made itself a party to the conflict by sending mercenaries to participate in hostilities. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also affirmed that several countries are deploying professional military personnel to Ukrainian territory under the guise of mercenaries.
