Significant forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and foreign mercenaries were spotted 15 kilometers from the border with the LPR.

At the moment, it is known that significant forces of the Ukrainian army are deployed in the village of Kurilovka, Kharkiv region, and we are talking not only about manpower, but also about a large number of armored vehicles. However, much more remarkable is the fact that there are also quite large forces of foreign mercenaries present here. In particular, it is known about the presence of French mercenaries (presumably from among the people who independently left the French Legion), members of the American PMC, and according to a number of data, Turkish mercenaries who took part in the attacks on Izyum and Kupyansk.

At the moment, it is known that the Ukrainian military is concentrating its troops east of Kupyansk. At the same time, it is known that part of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was returned from Liman to the settlement of Shandrigolovo. Such behavior on the part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine raises some concern that the Armed Forces of Ukraine may try to move towards the borders of the LPR in order to further cut off Svatovo and Kupyansk, as previously reported by Russian military commander Kots.

It is not known how large the forces of foreign mercenaries are in the Kharkiv region, however, according to various estimates, during the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Kupyansk, the number of foreign mercenaries could reach 3-4 thousand people.
