DISINFO: Polish mercenaries were seen in Tryekhizbenka in Luhansk
SUMMARY
Polish mercenaries were seen in Tryekhizbenka in Luhansk. They are wearing “NATO grey” uniforms.
RESPONSE
No evidence given to support this claim. The existence of paramilitary fighters or mercenaries from NATO or US-friendly countries is a recurrent narrative in Russian disinformation since at least 2014.
See here for other disinformation cases about alleged presence of foreign mercenaries in Eastern Ukraine, from Baltic snipers to snipers from Georgia, female snipers from Poland, and even a whole NATO brigade.
