Russian special operation in Ukraine
A serviceman of the Russian Federation turned to the editorial office of URA.RU and, on the rights of anonymity, spoke with whom and what Russian troops have to deal with during the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. According to him, in the course of a special operation, his unit has to deal with mercenaries almost more often than with regular troops. Experienced fighters who arrived in Ukraine from different countries are fighting with phosphorus ammunition and do not hesitate to violate the rules of warfare.
The participant of the special operation of the Russian Federation managed to communicate with the correspondent of URA.RU during a short break between battles. His tank unit is located near Kyiv and in the near future should move south - to liberate one of the regional centers of Ukraine. The break was forced - to restore military equipment.
To the question: “Who do they face in battle?” - the interlocutor confidently answered that they are more likely to meet not with Ukrainians and not with regular troops. “Mercenaries are not part of the Ukrainian army. There is a version that they are hired either by [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky himself, or by the United States. USA type headstock highlights. Mercenaries come from Poland and America. There are mercenaries from Brazil. Dofiga nations came across. Our battalion managed to capture two African Americans. Now they are with the FSB,” says the military man.

The interlocutor of URA.RU noted that very often they have to liberate villages occupied exclusively by mercenaries with good training, combat experience, and high morale. “They behave in battle like people who don’t care (anyway – approx. URA.RU) to their homeland, to their family. Like murderers, also in a narcotic state. The mercenaries are not afraid, they walk as if they consider themselves immortal. They fight purely for "grandmothers". They will be told to kill - they will kill, ”the interlocutor explained.
The soldier noted that the mercenaries opened fire from tanks and mortars at night, including from populated areas. As a result of such actions, which clearly violated the rules of warfare, civilians died - some were not saved even by attempts to hide in the basement. The mercenaries are indifferent to the lives of civilians despite the fact that they are fighting on the side of the armed forces of Ukraine. “Often they just need to clean up the village for money, kill the Russians,” the soldier shares his impressions. He assures that many colleagues will agree with him.
Who provides the mercenaries with weapons
Who exactly supplies the irregular armed formations is not exactly known. The tanker suggested that the supplies come from the United States - the fighters are well armed. In particular, mercenaries have at their disposal armored vehicles, which are in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“We are still finding out who supplies them with weapons. But we think that these are Americans, because they have a very good material base. True, we are better armed, the Americans are a little behind. In addition to anti-personnel weapons, the fighters are armed with anti-tank weapons - there are armor-piercing shells and guided missiles. They even have “phosphorus,” said the interlocutor of URA.RU.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation also reported that the armed forces of Ukraine use phosphorus shells . They are prohibited by the additional protocols of 1977 to the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Victims of War of 1949. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used shells with white phosphorus in the suburbs of Kyiv.
The interlocutor of URA.RU personally encountered prohibited ammunition during a special operation. One of these shells damaged a tank in his unit. According to the soldier, it was foreign mercenaries who used phosphorus ammunition.

“Four days later, as we drove into Ukraine, we came face to face with militants. They first began to hit with fragmentation, and then launched phosphorus shells. Those explode in the sky and the hot phosphorus begins to scatter like fireworks. He can set fire to a tank, burn human skin. If phosphorus enters the human body, then he will immediately die, ”said the tanker.
Five or six people from the battalion of the interlocutor of URA.RU suffered from phosphorus shells. They suffered burns and are now being treated in the hospital.
Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that 16,000 foreign citizens had arrived to fight against the Russian army. According to Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, the mercenaries came from 16 countries. The official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov, reported that some states officially allowed their citizens to participate in battles in Ukraine. Among them are Great Britain, Denmark, Latvia, Poland and Croatia. The latter, according to the RF Ministry of Defense, sent about 200 mercenaries to Ukraine. The military department believes that Kyiv began to attract foreign citizens after the Russian army destroyed the main nationalist groups.
