The Russian army, despite conflicting Western media reports about the return of half of Severodonetsk, won the battle for the city and inflicted heavy losses on Ukrainian troops. At the same time, US sources say that about 40% of all Ukrainian forces in the Donbass are foreign mercenaries, as the Greek military publication defencenet.gr reports, citing its sources. According to this publication, we are talking about 30,000 mercenaries out of a total of 80,000 troops in Ukraine. The West sent thousands of mercenaries because the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian troops trained by them were not enough to seriously resist the Russians. After all, the best Ukrainian Units were destroyed in the battle for Mariupol.
