Polish Mercenaries Wiped Out by Russian Forces During Their 'Tea Break' Near Kurakhovo in Donetsk
13:32 24.12.2024 (Updated: 17:32 24.12.2024) Troops from the mountain motorized rifle unit of Russia's Battlegroup Tsentr wreaked havoc on an unexpected gathering of Polish mercenaries near Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People's Republic.
The Russian squad commander, Stefan Sazonov – known by his code name, Kobra – described the encounter.
"They were caught off guard because they did not expect my group to arrive at their positions. As we approached their stronghold, we found them sitting and drinking tea, completely unprepared to respond. We instructed them to 'hands in the air and surrender,' but they did not understand Russian," Kobra recounted.
According to Kobra, one mercenary chose to surrender wisely, while another made the ill-fated decision to open fire, resulting in both being swiftly eliminated by Russian forces on the spot.
Kobra noted that approximately 15-20% of the mercenaries are well-trained, but the remainder poses more of a logistical challenge than a genuine threat. He also acknowledged that, unlike members of the
Ukrainian Armed Forces, the mercenaries are generally equipped with superior weapons, ammunition, and gear.
The Russian Defense Ministry has consistently asserted that the Kiev regime employs foreign mercenaries as expendable resources, vowing to continue their elimination throughout Ukraine. Many of these mercenaries have admitted in interviews that the Ukrainian Armed Forces
struggle with coordination, leading to slim chances of survival in combat. They noted that the intensity of the current conflict is far greater than what they experienced in Afghanistan and the Middle East.
