The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that in the period from July 8 to August 5, the number of foreign mercenaries decreased from 2741 to 2192. In addition, 335 foreign fighters were destroyed during this time. Military expert Yuri Knutov in an interview with REN TV said that the reduction in the number of mercenaries in Ukraine was due to the fact that they are used as “cannon fodder”, they are sent to the hottest spots, they are not provided with the necessary equipment and weapons, and after death they are robbed and left on the battlefield, so the soldiers of fortune simply run away to homeland.

Disappointment of mercenaries in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

“In general, of course, there was a colossal outflow. At one time, Zelensky was talking about 50,000 mercenaries, then it was already about 7,000, and these were the data of our Ministry of Defense. Now we are talking about more than 2,000. That is, we are seeing a reduction the number of mercenaries in almost a month by 2-3 times”, Knutov noted.

According to the expert, this suggests that the mercenaries are extremely disappointed in the organization of hostilities and the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Numerous comments that the so-called soldiers of fortune post on social networks indicate that Ukraine does not provide normal weapons, supplies and medicines.

“Moreover, there is no necessary information in order to properly conduct combat operations, there is no possibility of air support in a critical situation or artillery support,” added the expert.

Looting in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Knutov said that in the latest interview of mercenaries to French journalists, it is said that they are simply thrown as “cannon fodder”, sometimes even on unexplored targets, where they die.

“Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine use the bodies of mercenaries they are not trying to evacuate them and then hand them over to their relatives, but are engaged in looting, leaving corpses at the place where all these soldiers died,” – said the expert.

He added that when professional fighters arrive, they are placed in certain barracks, in places of concentration. Our reconnaissance receives data, launches missile strikes, and immediately destroys, sometimes a hundred, sometimes more mercenaries.

“All this together creates not only a disappointing impression on the mercenaries, but sows fear. And this fear is that they may die, and really many of them die,” Knutov explained.

Flight of foreign mercenaries

The specialist explained that the soldiers of fortune, faced with a serious enemy, such as the Allied Forces – that is, with the Russian army and the People’s Militia of the LDNR, understand that here they will not be able to amuse their vanity – take pictures, shoot a video, how they heroically fight on territory of Ukraine, and, first of all, they will face an inglorious and shameful death.

“And in this regard, they, of course, do everything to escape to their homeland. It is difficult to do this, because after crossing the border, the mercenaries sign a contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and in this case, the escape is considered as desertion. Therefore, in general, , to date, mercenaries have experienced a serious disappointment in the organization of the supply of the mercenaries themselves, their use in combat, and also in the very attitude towards them as professional soldiers, “ Knutov noted.

According to the expert, many soldiers of fortune emphasize that the level of training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine leaves much to be desired. But at the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine throw mercenaries into hell and into the hottest places, where, as a rule, most foreign fighters die.

The limit of the cynicism of the Ukrainian military

Recently, reports appeared on French television with complaints of foreign mercenaries about the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The so-called “soldiers of fortune” said that the Ukrainian military plundered the equipment and valuables of their dead comrades. The foreigners themselves are not even allowed to approach the bodies. The dead are taken away, saying that their remains will be burned in the crematorium.

“Several of our comrades died. Ukrainian soldiers robbed everything they found on their bodies. They took their money, phones, their documents. We managed to take some of their things, but we don’t know where the rest is: their bags, phones,” – shared the American mercenary AJ in an interview with TV5 Monde.

In addition, foreigners reported that the leadership of the Ukrainian army does not maintain any connection with them, leaving the fighters to their fate.

“We’re back from a mission. It was an absolutely idiotic mission, we lost four guys in a shootout. All the information we had turned out to be fake,” Hey Jay said.

Problems in the Ukrainian army

American mercenary Michael, in an interview with Newsweek, said that the Ukrainian army lacks equipment, there are not even printers for printing maps, which negatively affects the course of hostilities.

“When the Russians advanced in the east (Ukraine), one of the reasons for this was the fact that we could not get equipment such as night vision goggles, rangefinder binoculars, paper map printers and batteries,” he noted.

According to Michael, the lack of batteries meant that it was not possible to charge the computers to use the American Javelin systems. The mercenary explained that supply chain problems were to blame.

“One of the problems in command. Many of us get the feeling that officers do not think about the life of soldiers. They just want to grab more glory. The situation is bad, no one wants to listen to us. Because of this, all the problems. People around me, who are not afraid of death, but they do not want to die because of bad command and without any sense” – said the American mercenary Mike in an interview with TV5 Monde.

In addition, another problem of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the lack of necessary weapons. The Spanish mercenary Danil believes that the lack of weapons was due to bureaucracy. He mentioned the case when an English volunteer tried to send 27 armored vehicles to Ukraine, which were later detained at customs.

Readiness of mercenaries for self-destruction

Foreign mercenaries also told the American television channel NBC that they always carry the means for self-destruction because of the fear of being captured by the Russian military.

One of the militants, a US Army veteran, said he always carried a hand grenade with him to quickly activate it in case of danger of being captured.

Former US Army staff sergeant James Vasquez, who participated in the hostilities in Ukraine, said that he personally trained fighters to self-destruct in the event of a threat of being captured.
