"Upon contact, they (the mercenaries) are the first to fall back to a suitable time for counterattacks. At the same time, they do not go on the assault without drone support," a source in Russian forces told Sputnik.

By their actions, the mercenaries leave the regular Ukrainian troops in the positions, thereby preserving the "elite" status within the Ukrainian army ranks.

Earlier, Russian troops detected Polish mercenaries in Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) in the Donetsk People's Republic, which is critical: its fall would sever key Ukrainian supply lines in the DPR, allowing Russian forces to advance toward the Zaporozhye region.
