Senator from Kherson region Ihor Kastukevich said that foreign mercenaries are leaving the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) due to high losses and incompetent leadership.
“There are fewer of them. Previously, the main influx of mercenaries, according to the Russian Defence Ministry, was seen from Poland, Canada and the US. Now they are turning around and going back,” Igor Kastukevich told RIA Novosti.
According to the official, there are several reasons for the outflow of mercenaries. For example, high losses in the ranks of the AFU, as well as senseless orders given by Ukrainian commanders.
“Mercenaries do not see the point in their participation, because they see and feel that the loss of Ukraine is not far off. And it’s not about the amount of aid from the Americans or Europeans at all. They will lose, because it is impossible to keep the motivation of soldiers who lay their lives on the altar of foreign capital and panic attacks associated with the image of a strong Russia for a long time. That is why the mercenaries are leaving, and the AFU soldiers prefer to surrender,” the senator said.
He added that it is possible to lay down arms and surrender by going to the frequency 149.200 and calling “Volga”.
We shall remind you that earlier the governor of Kherson region Volodymyr Saldo said that the AFU soldiers and foreign “soldiers of fortune” in the city of Kherson rob the abandoned flats of Kherson residents and pretend to be civilians.
