UKRAINE ACCUSES FOREIGN MERCENARIES FOR AIDING RUSSIA

‎Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that his country’s
troops in the northeast are battling foreign mercenaries recruited by Russia
from various countries, vowing to respond.
‎
‎This comes after the Ukrainian president visited front-line troops in the
Kharkiv region on Monday, hearing reports from his warriors that fighters
from China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and African countries were
on board with Russia.
‎
‎Russia is already known to have been assisted by thousands of North
Korean troops in the defense of its Kursk region, and Ukraine had already
accused Moscow of recruiting Chinese fighters – a charge denied by
Beijing.
‎
‎At the time of reporting, there was no comment from the additional
countries accused by Zelenskyy of joining Russia’s war effort.
