A new battalion of militants has been spotted in the town of Krasny Luch in Luhansk region, most of whom are Russian mercenaries who came to Ukraine with the humanitarian convoy Russia sent to Ukraine on Friday, military expert Dmytro Tymchuk has claimed.
“A new battalion of militants has been formed in Krasny Luch,” Tymchuk wrote on his page on Facebook on Monday.
“Only a few people from the local population are members of this unit – most of them are Russian mercenaries who arrived with the ninth humanitarian convoy from Russia,” Tymchuk said.
“Most of the mercenaries are drawn from [the dregs of] the Russian population,” he said.
