🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇪🇺 According to recent information, more than 4,800 mercenaries, mostly from the United States, Canada, and European countries, have been killed on the side of Kiev, while an additional 4,800 have fled from Ukrainian territory.

🔹Several statements from the Russian Ministry of Defense regarding foreign mercenaries have been collected:

➡️Since the beginning of the special operation, 11,675 foreign mercenaries from 84 countries have officially arrived to participate in combat actions in Ukraine.

➡️In light of the failure of another wave of mobilization in Ukraine and with the aim of concealing the catastrophic losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Kiev regime has intensified recruitment efforts in Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries to attract foreign mercenaries.

➡️Currently, there are still 2,029 mercenaries active within the ranks of the AFU.

➡️In the past month, Ukraine has launched recruitment of mercenaries in Argentina, Brazil, Afghanistan, Iraq, and in areas of Syria controlled by the United States.

➡️The majority of foreign mercenaries, over 2,600 individuals, have arrived in Ukraine from Poland.

➡️The recruitment of foreign mercenaries by Kiev is carried out with the assistance of Western intelligence agencies, primarily the CIA.

➡️Commanders of AFU units operating on the frontlines are not held accountable for losses among mercenaries.

➡️Kiev uses foreign mercenaries as cannon fodder.

➡️Due to a significant decline in interest from Poland and the United Kingdom, Kiev has intensified recruitment activities in the United States and Canada.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 About the attempted strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Crimean Bridge - @Rybar

Once again, Ukrainian forces attempted to strike Russian targets in the Republic of Crimea.
Anti-aircraft gunners from the 31st Air Defense Division of the Russian Armed Forces intercepted a missile to the north of Taman.
There were no damages or casualties, and the debris fell into the waters of the Azov Sea.

The previous attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack the peninsula was in the middle of last month. Thanks to the coordinated work of the air defense units and electronic warfare units, 11 drones were neutralized.

➡️It is unknown what the Ukrainian forces were trying to strike. The Head of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, stated that it was a cruise missile. However, even at a maximum range of 300 km, Ukrainian aircraft would have to launch it near the front line, which is dangerous due to our air defense operations.

The most probable scenario is the use of a modified missile from the S-200 system, adapted for attacks on a ballistic trajectory. The range of such a missile is approximately 400 km.

ℹ️Interestingly, in this situation, the Ukrainian forces struck shortly after the official acknowledgment of the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge on October 8, which may indicate their intentions to intensify attacks on this important logistical object.
