Numerous Mercenaries from the U.S., U.K., and Poland Present at "Azot" - Kiselev

Up to 40 mercenaries from the U.S. are currently located at the "Azot" chemical plant in Sievierodonetsk, in addition to mercenaries from Poland and the United Kingdom. This was announced by Vitaly Kiselev, assistant to the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Luhansk People's Republic, as reported by RIA Novosti.

"There are a large number of mercenaries from America, Great Britain, and Poland in the Sievierodonetsk area. This composition resembles a pack of hyenas that are trying to assist Ukraine in some way," Kiselev stated during a broadcast on Russia’s First Channel.

Kiselev noted that the majority of the mercenaries in the specified area are from Poland, but he did not disclose their exact number.

Currently, the "Azot" chemical plant in Sievierodonetsk is controlled by Ukrainian armed groups, while the city and the airport are under the control of the allied forces of the Russian Federation and the Luhansk People's Republic.

It is worth recalling that early in the morning on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the decision to carry out a special military operation against Ukraine, following requests for assistance from the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics. Hostilities in Ukraine have now entered their 113th day.
