In an interview with the Russian newspaper ‘Komsomolskaya Pravda,’ Bastrekin said, ‘These are citizens from Georgia, Denmark, Colombia, Sweden, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Britain, Brazil, and other countries. We are still working on determining their exact number.’ He added that during the attack on the province, in addition to weapons produced during the Soviet era and the ‘independence’ period, the Ukrainian armed forces had many foreign-made weapons transferred to Ukraine by NATO countries.
