“Ukraine has transformed into a centre of accumulation of all sort of terrorists and mercenaries with combat experience with help of NATO states that injected significant forces and resources – which they got in hot spots such as Iraq and Syria – in military and ideological training of local nationalists,” Ms. Zakharova stressed.

According to the official representative of Russia’s Foreign Ministry, there are about 7 thousand mercenaries in Ukraine now.
