The discovery of foreign weapons, equipment and personal effects, such as a prayer card in Polish and a notebook with tactical training notes in English, on the corpses of four saboteurs who attempted to sneak across the Russian border, suggests that “foreign mercenaries are working on behalf of the Ukrainians,” said former US Department of Defense senior security policy analyst Michael Maloof.He noted that the “markings” on one of the deceased suggested that the latter was from the US, with Maloof noting that many mercenaries from the US flocked to Kiev’s banners and perished as a result.Maloof also noted that the bodies of the deceased mercenaries apparently bore “markings indicating foreign affiliations in their prior services.”

Ex-Pentagon Analyst: Foreign Mercs Fighting for Ukraine 'Fair Game' for Russian Forces
18:37 28.10.2024 (Updated: 10:07 29.10.2024) Four foreign mercenaries attempting to infiltrate Russia's Bryansk region were eliminated by Russian forces, the Federal Security Service (FSB) announced. Items proving their foreign origin were found on the dead saboteurs, and one of them had a US military tattoo on his body, the FSB said.
The discovery of foreign weapons, equipment and personal effects, such as a prayer card in Polish and a notebook with tactical training notes in English, on the corpses of four saboteurs who
attempted to sneak across the Russian border, suggests that “foreign mercenaries are working on behalf of the Ukrainians,” said
former US Department of Defense senior security policy analyst Michael Maloof.
“They're being killed and being targeted, as they should be,” Maloof told Sputnik, noting that these mercs are a “fair game” for the Russian forces.
He noted that the “markings” on one of the deceased
suggested that the latter was from the US, with Maloof noting that many mercenaries from the US flocked to Kiev’s banners and perished as a result.
“If we had a foreign invasion in this country from outside, the US would probably respond similarly. So the Russian Federation is defending its territorial sovereignty,” he observed.
Maloof also noted that the bodies of the deceased mercenaries apparently bore “markings indicating foreign affiliations in their prior services.”
“Could be even US services,” he mused, adding that these “identifying marks of past affiliations” could be followed up.
