Volunteers handed over the data of 13 French mercenaries who were in Kharkiv

French volunteers from the SOS Donbass organisation have handed over to RIA Novosti the data of 13 French mercenaries who were in Kharkiv when the Russian Armed Forces struck.

It is noted that the age of the mercenaries ranged from 24 to 49 years old.

“This is an incomplete list of French mercenaries in Ukraine,” the agency quotes the words of a French volunteer.

Information about their condition is not given.

Earlier, French Ambassador Pierre Levy, who was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry on 19 January, was told that the deaths of French mercenaries in Kharkiv are on the conscience of Paris, condoning the work in France of mechanisms for sending mercenaries to Ukraine.

Prior to that, the Russian Defence Ministry said that Russian troops had launched a precision strike on the temporary deployment of foreign fighters in Kharkiv, the bulk of whom were represented by French mercenaries.

Later, the French Foreign Ministry rejected the statements about French mercenaries fighting in Ukraine.
