The mercenaries were not ready for intense battles and lasted only a week. Hades also said that foreign legionnaires in Ukraine do not participate in assault operations.
"They perform the functions of the DRG, snipers, special, barrage detachments of sweeps. For such a thankless task as the meat assault, there are riders," said the commander of the reconnaissance group.
