Failed Safari: Russian Units Stop Mercenary Influx in Kursk, Says GeneralMost of the foreign mercenaries, who entered Russia's Kursk region with Ukrainian militants were Polish and Georgian nationals, Gen. Apti Alaudinov told Sputnik.Initially, a significant number of mercenaries viewed their mission as an easy success. They underestimated Russian defenses, expecting a quick triumph, he said.Russian units effectively dismantled this expectation, neutralizing the majority of foreign fighters who crossed into Russian territory.
