They directly direct what is happening in the Donbass
Moscow. December 24. INTERFAX - About 10,000 Western military instructors are in Ukraine, 4,000 of them are from the United States, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.
"Currently, there are about 10 thousand instructors and similar specialists permanently there. Of these, 4,000 are directly from the United States," she said during a briefing.
Zakharova stressed in this regard that "it would be good if the situation improved": "Yes, perhaps it would violate the Minsk agreements, but the practice on the ground, the situation, the situation, it would speak about the effectiveness of the presence of these people in favor of the peace process. But it's exactly the opposite."
"The more instructors there are, the bigger the military budget of Ukraine becomes. The more weapons are supplied there, the more often we hear explosions not only on the contact line, but they occur directly in the area of civilian infrastructure," Zakharova said.
She stressed that all statements that foreign servicemen in Ukraine take part in measures to ensure the security and defense of this country and in "deterring Russian military aggression are lies."
