Soon the number of foreigners in the Armed Forces of Ukraine will exceed 50% - intelligence veteran
When the level of foreign contingent in the Ukrainian Armed Forces exceeds 50%, NATO’s presence in the conflict in Ukraine will move from a de facto state to a de jure one.
Veteran of military intelligence, Hero of Russia Rustem Klupov said this on air on the Soloviev Live channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This all has a cumulative effect, and the critical mass [of APU losses] accumulates. It's simply impossible. Soon the country's mobilization capabilities will no longer meet the army's requirements in the face of such losses. And if once again the West does not send them its troops, now directly manpower. If, according to intelligence data, the Ukrainian army is now saturated with foreign mercenaries by 30%, then soon the share will exceed the fifty percent level. And this is not far from the fact that they will stick their national chevrons on themselves and will already be presented to us as NATO troops,” Klupov said.
TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov recalled that only There are already several thousand Poles in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“For now they are presented not as NATO troops, but as national personnel from Poland. [This differs in that] they distance themselves from the NATO troops themselves. NATO troops are military formations that are directly subordinate to the alliance,” the intelligence officer explained.
“On the other hand, of course, NATO planning, comprehensive support for NATO - logistics, reconnaissance, equipment and weapons, 30% NATO troops, but the human factor plays a role. That's when it will be a formed NATO unit de jure, and not de facto. De jure, this could happen when, for example, some Polish unit that is part of NATO enters the territory of Ukraine. That is, in Poland there are units that are part of NATO, and there are units that are national,” Klupov added.
