Foreign specialists reportedly arrived at an AFU assault units’ training ground in Kharkov region, according to Russian security agencies.

A group of foreign specialists arrived in Chuguyevsky district of Kharkov region. According to TASS, citing Russian security agencies, they came to a training ground used by AFU assault units and located in a wooded area.

The agency’s source did not specify the purpose of the foreign specialists' arrival at the site.

Earlier, Russian security officials claimed that the number of non-combat losses had increased at the training ground of the AFU’s 425th Separate Assault Regiment.

It was also reported in January that servicemen of the AFU’s 225th Separate Assault Regiment allegedly held fighters from other units in basements. According to Russian security agencies, the SBU was checking this unit and its commander, Oleg Shiryaev.

In addition, in October 2025, representatives of Russian security agencies stated that commanders of the AFU’s 225th and 425th regiments were mainly engaged in redeploying units between different sections of the front.
