Zakharova told how Russia is fighting the recruitment of mercenaries into the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Russian diplomats began to work with the authorities of other states to put an end to the recruitment of mercenaries into the Armed Forces of Ukraine through local diplomatic missions of Ukraine, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

In the documentary film “Mercenaries. Disappointment,” shown by the Vesti news agency, she noted that the Kiev regime, contrary to international law, began recruiting mercenaries through the websites of its diplomatic missions in other countries.

“Russia reacted to this, sent appropriate notes of protest and worked with the authorities of the host countries to ensure that this was minimized and brought to naught,” Zakharova said.
