"Against the backdrop of the Kiev regime's mounting military failures and massive daily losses in manpower and equipment, the flow of foreign mercenaries to Ukraine has not only decreased, but is actually turning in the opposite direction. Despite the Kiev regime's efforts and increased payments, the process of mercenaries leaving to the 'other world' or back to their countries of residence has not been stopped by the Kiev leadership."

Nearly 7,000 mercenaries and weapons operating specialists from other countries had arrived in Ukraine since Russia started the special military operation in that country, said Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov on Friday.
According to Konashenkov, many foreign mercenaries in Ukraine are leaving that country given the unfavorable situation of the Ukrainian forces in the combat.
"Against the backdrop of the Kiev regime's mounting military failures and massive daily casualties and losses in equipment, the flow of foreign mercenaries to Ukraine has not only decreased, but is actually turning in the opposite direction. Despite the Kiev regime's efforts and increased payments, the process of mercenaries leaving to the 'other world' or back to their countries of residence has not been stopped by the Kiev leadership," said Konashenkov.
According to Konashenkov, among the European countries, Poland is the undisputed leader in terms of the number of people both coming to Ukraine and dying in the country.
Among the American countries, the number of people arriving in Ukraine from Canada is the highest, and the United States takes the lead in term of the people dead in Ukraine with 214 deaths.
"In total, our lists as of June 17, 2022, include mercenaries and weapons operating specialists from 64 countries. Since the beginning of the special military operation, 6,956 people have arrived in Ukraine, 1,956 have already been eliminated and 1,779 have left," said the spokesman.
According to Konashenkov, the above numbers took into account the trainers who have come to train, assist in the operation and repair of Western weapons supplied to Ukraine.
