U.S. PMC fighters, citizens of several European countries enlist for fight in Ukraine - Russian Defense Ministry

MOSCOW. March 3 (Interfax) - The United States' military intelligence has launched a massive campaign to recruit contractors from private military companies (PMCs) to send them to Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry's spokesman Igor Konashenkov told a briefing on Thursday.

"They recruit primarily those employed by Academi, CUBIC and DynCorp [International]. Britain, Denmark, Latvia, Poland and Croatia have legally permitted their citizens to take part in Ukraine hostilities. The command of the French Foreign Legion plans to send its troops - ethnic Ukrainians - to aid the Kyiv regime," Konashenkov said.
