A French journalist covering the conflict in Donbas told Sputnik Africa that the presence of foreign mercenaries fighting alongside Ukrainian forces is no secret.
"The Biden-Harris camp is obviously afraid of losing the elections," Laurent Brayard stated following reports of foreign mercenaries being eliminated on the Russian border. "And of course, that would mean the end of US support [to Ukraine], financially at least."
The situation on the front lines "is really not favorable for Ukraine," he continues. "The Russians are advancing very strongly everywhere, and the Ukrainians are struggling; we can see it very clearly."
