Foreign Mercenaries Massively Participating In Ukraine’s Invasion Of Kursk

Written by Lucas Leiroz, member of the BRICS Journalists Associations, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, military expert

Foreign mercenaries are playing a major role in the Ukrainian invasion of Kursk. A Ukrainian soldier who surrendered to the Russians has told the truth about the Ukrainian troops involved in the Kursk operation. According to him, there are many foreigners among the military, including people from NATO countries. This is yet another clear example of how Kiev is using international mercenaries in its main combat units, further escalating the internationalization of the conflict.

Recently, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) released a video of an interview with a captured Ukrainian soldier. The prisoner gave details about the troops that invaded Kursk, stating that there are several non-Ukrainians among the soldiers involved in the assault on Kursk, which shows how dependent Kiev is on the services of foreign mercenaries to carry out its operations.

The prisoner identified himself as Ruslan Poltoratsky, a member of the Ukrainian 80th Air Assault Brigade. Poltoratsky was walking in Kursk region when he was captured by a militia of armed civilians who were voluntarily protecting the region. After being handed over to the authorities, Ruslan spoke about the reality of the Ukrainian troops, describing the presence of foreigners. He stated that there was a communication problem due to the fact that the soldiers did not speak Ukrainian, with some fighters speaking English, Polish and French. The difficulty in communicating with his colleagues caused him to get lost on the front lines and end up being captured.

From this report, it is possible to see that the presence of foreigners in Ukraine is so great that it is even beginning to create problems for the military administration. There are communication failures and command errors simply because the soldiers no longer speak the same language. This situation tends to generate more and more problems. It is possible to predict that there will be a wave of failed operations in the near future, with operational errors being made due to communication difficulties among the soldiers themselves.

Certainly, there are many soldiers from NATO countries, considering that the Ukrainian prisoner mentioned languages ​​such as English, French and Polish. This is not surprising, since NATO soldiers have long been directly involved in hostilities under the label of mercenaries. Frequently, Americans and French citizens die on the front lines, raising a number of concerns for Western authorities about how to disguise these deaths.

As for the Poles, their participation in Ukraine is already becoming semi-official. Polish troops have become commonplace on the battlefield since 2022, having a large number of casualties of these mercenaries during Russian actions. In practice, Poland is already de facto participating in the war, being one of the largest suppliers of troops to the Kiev regime – in addition to hosting the largest route for the arrival of NATO weapons in the conflict.

Georgia is in the same situation as Poland. Even though it is not a NATO member, Georgia is one of Ukraine’s main suppliers of mercenaries This is due to the fact that there are strong Russophobic sentiments among part of the Georgian people, since the Caucasus country is one of the most affected by psychological brainwashing operations carried out by NATO. Historical revanchism and Russophobia have encouraged many Georgians to enlist to defend Ukraine, with the largest pro-Ukrainian Georgian paramilitary organization being the so-called “Georgian Legion” – a terrorist group banned in Russia and known worldwide for publishing videos torturing Russians.

During the attack on Kursk, several members of the Georgian Legion were captured or killed by the Russians. There are videos circulating on the internet showing soldiers of the Wagner Group PMC arresting some Georgian citizens during the Russian counterattack in Kursk. In the same vein, there are photos and videos of American soldiers and some Europeans fighting for Kiev during this invasion. In practice, it seems that the mercenaries were vital to the feasibility of the attack – which corroborates the thesis that Kiev is without sufficient forces to fight, depending on strong direct foreign aid to continue facing the Russians.

For its part, Russia has repeatedly stated that eliminating foreign mercenaries is a priority in the special military operation. These troops are not protected by international humanitarian law, since they are not regular soldiers. For this reason, if captured by the Russians, they could be sent to martial courts for crimes committed against the citizens of Kursk and other regions – with the most severe penalty being life imprisonment.

In fact, the tragic invasion of Kursk showed that Ukraine is no longer capable of carrying out any military activity on its own, being totally dependent on the support of illegal mercenaries. Although they help Kiev to have enough troops to fight, this massive presence of foreigners is causing serious problems, mainly in communication and logistics issues, which shows how Kiev is far from finding a “solution” to its military demands through the hiring of foreign criminals.

propaganda only. the fact is that the invasion of kursk caught russkies unprepared. that should never happen. 10,000 soldiers and hundreds of armored vehicles cannot cross the border undetected. the response took the russians 5 days, during these 5 days ukrainian troops murdered civilians and destroyed buildings with impunity, with the exception of a few airstrikes by russian vos. it is a flagrant example of russian incompetence.

the purges of generals ordered by putin are reminiscent of stalin’s purges before barbarosa. molotov/stalin and lavrov/putin are the same imbeciles. prygozhin complained about the incompetence and envy of putin’s generals who torpedoed his efforts in bakhmut. now all these 200,000 civilians who have no chance of returning home in their lifetime are paying the bill for embracing stupid and power-hungry monster putin.

bakhmeat was great….it eliminated 70,000 ukrainian and nato morons

the fact is that dumb foreign mercs have died in droves in the kursk region.

the last highly trained soldiers of ukraine plus the dumb foreign mercs were thrown in as cannon fodder to get ukraine a better deal in negotiations with russia.

they were supposed to occupy kursk. never got anywhere near it.

mission successfully failed. better luck never.

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

was suppose to occupy kursk but never got close to it😂🤣💨💥

German Lickspittles

the objective was nuclear blackmail and when it failed, ukraine set the znpp cooling tower on fire. russia is fighting idiots, terrorist idiots to be exact. and then of course, there’s the ukrainians.

German Lickspittles

meanwhile the georgian pm just came out with a bulletin, that saakashvili was just following foreign orders to attack s. ossetia. whispered in his ear by karl rove no doubt, as was suspected from the gitgo. and look where he is now, a raving lunatic strapped to a prison hospital bed. not much of a mental change from his former life, really.

who’s a raving lunatic, saakashvili or rove?

probably both, i guess. throw the grahamcracker in there while you’re at it.

ah heck, the list is too long to bother with.

prigozhin was a hot dog tycoon. the only purges that have taken place exist in the imagination of third rate corporate media disinformation hacks. the same people who brought us the heroes of snake island and the ghost of kiev.

the fact is that it was a.suicidal.act for.diverting.nato.media from the front line. now everybody agrees it was csthastrophic for nato and even worse for the front line.

horror

oh dont say. ukraine troops captured hundreds of russian soldiers, that were left behind without any commands. ukraininans burned multiple waves of the russian reinforcements. ambushed these ignorant fools as russians even didn’t bothered to locate where are their enemies. whole military convoys were destroyed by small groups of ukrainians with anti tank missiles from close distance. who commited suicide ? russians. 200k civilians lost everything.

anon

there’s nothing like vaudeville. the charge of the light brigade caught the russians by surprise as well.

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

even through he’s trolling for the first five days the ukrainian had a field day slaughtering russian fsb border guards, akhamut special forces, that were defending the border. the border was literally almost undefended! even when russian regular troops did arrive, they still suffered massive losses, and still lost villages

Canned Spam

that was on purpose. the russians have too many pows and especially want to get rid of the banderite boobs among them in a trade.

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

no one agrees it was catastrophic for n.a.t.o. except your distorted imagination and south front that kisses up to your distorted imagination, so they can keep reeling in the money off you stupid pro-putin guys!

russia was “caught off guard” by how absolutely idiotic and suicidal this offensive is. xd

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

so they was still caught off guard, and even putin doesn’t know what to do after holding a public meeting with leaders of the borders of the different regions. it has been told to putin that ukraine will occupy some russian territory and there’s nothing they can do about it for the foreseeable future!

Shake-a-Spear

ah, to dream is to live, to stop is to die and for ukraine, all but fools see the end is nigh.

Coy

absolutely agree as a pro-russian. the level of incompetence among russian generals is mind boggling. it’s 2024 how is possible not to detect 10k enemy soldiers getting ready for attack

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

i agree, n.a.t.o. has consistently throughout this war made putin and by direct extension the russian people look like complete fools! actually if n.a.t.o. is not doing it i would dare say the russian people are doing it to themselves! russia has made terrible mistakes, not the least but that the war should have already been over!

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

i agree, even this article unintentionally shows the incompetence of the russian military. when it states that the ukrainian soldier was captured by a ragtag local militia. which i bet was created because the local citizens had no confidence of the russian authorities protecting them so they had to take their protection in their own hands!

Come to Papa

hey genius, if they’d shown they were preparing, the invasion would’ve been called off and then they’d have had to chase the nazicritters on their home turf.

they never changed. it was just not as visible to us since they did this mostly in arab and african territories for some decades. well and yugoslavia but even the west fighting alongside al quaida and the iranian revolutionary guard in bosnia seems to not have bothered anyone on the planet.

Ruby Red Slippers

they slipped all the way back to the land of oz

horror

and by the way. when u.s. invaded iraq, it took them 26 days with less then 1000 casualties to win. russia shows crystal clear example of disorganized chaos, zero interest of commanders and complete incompetence and ignorance. the fact that the russians have some modern weapons in their arsenal does not change anything, because those fools do not even know how to use them.

horror

and in the exceptionally few cases where a russian commander is not a complete idiot, putin’s paranoia strikes. targeting every possible rival, real or alleged. perfectly as stalin did that. in pryghozin case they planted a grenade into his airplane, despite the fact he was promised amnesty and security. under these circumstances, we cannot be surprised that the “glorious” russian army is getting beaten up by a few ukrainian mobs.

pryghozin was not innocent, i believe he tried to usurp authority from the president of russia! and even in western democracies no nation tolerated betrayal from their subordinates, especially in a time of war! putin did what any other leader would do. i believe it’s unfair to criticize him, he’s not like kim jung nobody or the chinese demon president!

that’s what happens when you fight people with no air force, no air cover, no navy, and a tenth rate, untrained, undisciplined, poorly led army. the amerikunt and eu tik tok armies can just about manage to fight goat herders with rifles in afghanistan for a few years till they pull out with their tails between their legs in defeat. the amerikunts nearly lost even against grenada. should just stick to filling their trannie quotas.

Yeltsin

iraqi commanders were literally bribed by the west to stand down or take their troops somewhere else. that ,along with no info (jamming/destroying radar satellite…) caused iraq to divert troops from where they were needed and into traps. not to mention iraq only suffered 30k kia, while ukraine is approaching 750k now.

🗡️🇺🇲💪

yes and the same goat herders, also defeated your glorious nation russia, that you guys love to forget about! the united-states performed exponentially better than the french and the russians in afghanistan! also i would dare say with the corrupt military industrial complex that profits off never ending wars, i really believe the americans could have actually won, if not for this!

Ruby Red Slippers

my personal favorite was the invasion of panama. the un says 500 civilians were killed just to nab one cia agent that worshipped chickens. i think they called it ‘operation just because’ we can, i guess.

none

did 43 other countries send help to iraq when the americans were invading them? answer my question and you will realize how stupid your comment is.

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

the united-states since it has been at war for nearly it’s entire short existence, is literally god’s of war! i put the americans at the level of germany in the past, where it was able to single handedly take on the entire european continent! the russian federation has almost zero combat experience, because they have stayed out of wars which has pros and cons.

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

one cons definitely of not having battle experience is that vladimir putins troops are making amateur mistakes, and their enemies that are collectively more powerful are humiliating the russians on a global stage with a list that is to long to write. russia fool hardly thought this war would be easy to win and never thought they would receive the backlash they did?!

Ghost of Moskow 🌪️⚡⚰️

russia could have and should have responded to to ukraine along with n.a.t.o. various terrorist attacks, economic sanctions, and incoming weapon shipments, to the point of actually using nuclear weapons! sounds crazy but russia once was thought of a tough nation, especially after their military intervention in syria, now russia is seen as the new france!

iraq was a case of. saddam not trusting his military and only equiping the national guard well. aditionally they used sowjet weapons which were allways inferior to the real sowjet stuff cause they never sold the real deal to anyone and french air defences and planes who have a habit to deactivate their stuff when the west attacks (falklands, lybia).

Ruby Red Slippers

oh, but they caused hundreds of thousands of iraqi casualties but that vial of powdered sugar was worth it.

Kgb

10000 soldiers entering with 100 tanks and how russian administrators did not learn this before it happen. peoples says some generals did not want to see the real reports about the ukranian bringing up on the border with 10000 troops and tanks. these generals must be rejected from the army.

bullshit. invation with 1000soldiers can not be true. there must be more soldiers than 10000 maybe 30000. still contunies this invation

horror

it depends on quality, not on numbers. if russian generals are sending wave after waves of military convoys unprotected, disoriented, which are circling in minefields, it looks like they were attacked by 30.000 army, but in fact, the whole column can be decimated by 5 missiles and 50 landmines easily. 10 soldiers can do that, if they have precise information from satelites and drones.. which they have. but russians are fighting as blind, stupid and degenerated meat

indeed, i’d heard that an entire battalion was sent to donetsk and ended up in vladivostok instead. when they got there, one of them said ‘gee, i had no idea the sea of azov was so big’.

now, a useful tip: stop reading western gobbledegook. it’ll rot what’s left of your brain.

Erikovitch

these are nothing more than nato supplied soldiers from the us , eu and britain. they demission officially from their countries armed forces then are immediately “signed” up as mercenaries, so as to attempt to hide that countries direct participation in the attacks on russia. furthermore, macron claims there are no french troops in ukraine. technically he is correct, as he is using the ffl foreign born troops, who if lost will not be even noticed in france.

it’s good to see the russian admin have their priorities right. most of the mercenaries have already lost their stomach for this fight and have left any way they could. maybe we are seeing the most highly brainwashed regular nato troops posing as mercenaries and volunteering to take a kicking on behalf of their cult leaders?

hang them high and publicly with a sign around their necks stating name and nationality, on tv!

and while ukraine waste the lives of ukraine troops in kursk, the real battle continues successfully on the donetsk front where the russians slowly occupy village after village and progress towards the ukraine surrender. kursk is a fatal mistake by nazi-zelensky who was hoping the russians would be forced to take forces from donetsk to kursk. stupid nazi zelensky!

FJB

while those foreign mercenaries are invading kursk, how many chinese, iranians, north koreans or sco nations are willing to defend russia on its own territory? those same countries russia either has strategic partnership or “no limits friendship” with. i guess none. whatever agreements putin made look worthless.

kotromanic

the sco will never be like nato not even like eu. in nato the usa commands and all follow. in the sco who will command? china, india, russia? those three allready will never obey one of the other as all of them claim to be a world power in their own right. for china and india a weakened but not defeated russia is within their interest.

if a major part of the attackers were foreigers that counters the argument that ukraine will loose its reserves there. and it indicates that more and more foreigerns are filling in the ranks of ukraine, defeating the russians can draft more men then ukraine argument. if the usa can allready get mercs from multiple countries to fight in this war while even countries like germany are using terms like “getting warready” it seems the numbers game will not stay in favour of russia in the long term.
