Russian Federation forces have stepped up their campaign of air strikes with missiles and drones against the concentration of foreign mercenary troops.

Once again, a precision strike on was aimed at a temporary location of foreign militants in the city of Kharkov, primarily composed of French mercenaries.

Reuters reported:

“Russia said on Wednesday its forces had carried out a precision strike a day earlier on a building housing ‘foreign fighters’ in Ukraine’s second city Kharkov.

Interesting, apparently France has officially disavowed the Mercs claiming they have nothing to do with 'em.

Unless something recently changed Ukraine doesn’t have any mercenary forces.

Anyone fighting for the Ukrainians are in the Ukraine Army, including foreign volunteers.

[pfflier]

Foreign legionnaires?

French or muslim mercenaries? Plenty of muslims in France.

[SheepWhisperer]

Yes, very sad, anyway...how about that NFL playoff schedule this weekend!

Also - filter through the article with the understanding that the initial “source” was the Moscow Times...

Killers for money in the hire of the globohomos. To hell with them.

The French were likely there to crew the CAESAR self-propelled guns, which have been mostly unused.

Probably why the French were caught mostly in one place, their barracks.

France has not been paid for most of the CAESAR's and the payment for the ones they did not give free to Ukraine has fallen through, so their citizens are extraneous now, and have gotten the standard treatment.

No idea, however I am not aware of any Muzzies that will fight FOR French objectives.

[ansel12]

If a French man was fighting in Ukraine he would be part of the Ukrainian forces legally, not a mercenary, all foreign volunteers there are part of the legally official forces.

If the article was “filtered” by the Moscow Times it means that the location of the French Mercs was well known to the French government and a fellow Frog deliberately leaked it to the Russians.

[Navy Patriot]

Well, they are legally dead.

[ansel12]

Yep, close to 6 million Muslims in France and 16,000,000 in Russia.

We know Russia has many Muslims and mercenaries fighting in their forces but I don’t know the number of Muslims in the French military.

[ansel12]

So far there are no good sources about it, there are only the type of sources that mistakenly call them mercenaries.

[wildcard_redneck]

That is a shame - not.

[Navy Patriot]

Foreign legionnaires?

No idea, France doesn't care either.

[janetjanet998]

More and more missiles seem to be getting through air defense lately

Even Ukraine is saying it no longer shoots down 35 out of 30 missiles anymore

[Navy Patriot]

Pretty much the sources agree they are unmistakably dead, and unmistakably disavowed.

[mass55th]

"No idea, however I am not aware of any Muzzies that will fight FOR French objectives."

They're mercenaries. They're not fighting for French objectives. They're not sanctioned by the government, but somebody's paying them to be there.

[Navy Patriot]

Yep, it seems the best Disinformation Ukraine has now is no news at all.
