The White House promises not to send military personnel to that European nation, however, calls for “solidarity” with that nation are not lacking, something that covers up and allows mercenaries and contractors proven in the aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan, for example, to join the crisis.
The publication https://www.middleeasteye.net cited contractor sources as saying there had been a sharp increase in Ukraine-related private military job postings in recent weeks.
“Many private companies based in the United States and Europe publish job advertisements for Ukraine,” said a source quoted by the publication, who stated that hundreds of “professionals” are hired to work there, with some joining the international legion of Kiev.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also established an “International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine” and eliminated visas for “volunteers”, whose number could reach 16 thousand.
Sources told Middle East Eye (MEE) that the volunteers also include private military contractors with extensive warfare experience. In addition, there are those who come to the country for extraction, evacuation and defense who are recruited by private companies, he added.
A job advertisement appeared this week on Silent Professionals, a defense and private security job vacancy website, looking for several “extraction and protection officers” to carry out evacuation operations for individuals and families in the countryside and the main cities of that European nation.
“The employer is a company based in the United States. Both male and female agents are welcome,” the ad says.
“Volunteers go, it is true, but professional soldiers also go,” said a private military contractor quoted by the newspaper, adding that, as of March 2, the number of “professionals” who went to Ukraine exceeded one thousand people. . A hundred of them were from the French Foreign Legion, he said.
According to Kiev, once the “volunteers” enter its territory under the direction of the government, they will sign a contract to join the foreign legion.
In this regard, MEE indicated, the Russian Defense Ministry assured that the provocation “demonstrates the criminal intention” of Kiev or “the complete loss of control of President Zelensky over the actions of Ukrainian sabotage groups with foreign mercenaries.”
The Russian agency reported today that units of Ukrainian nationalists with the support of mercenaries tried to cause a fire at the Zaporizhia plant, the largest in Europe, located in the city of Energodar.
