Citizens from the US, Colombia, Poland, and Romania are reportedly fighting for Ukraine in Dnepropetrovsk, including snipers, medics, and operators of NATO equipment.

According to a source within Russian security agencies, citizens from several European countries — as well as from Colombia and the United States — are taking part in combat operations on the side of the Ukrainian army in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

The source specified that formations from Eastern Europe are particularly active, including Polish volunteer units and the Romanian combat group «Getica» which reportedly appears at intervals to restore its combat readiness.

Ukrainian command, the source added, relies heavily on Colombian mercenaries, deploying them to the most difficult sections of the front line. The Dnepropetrovsk region also sees a regular rotation of American and British fighters, serving as combat medics, snipers, and operators of advanced military equipment.

Earlier, Russian security representatives noted that proficiency in English has become a mandatory requirement for Ukrainian troops — a measure necessary to ensure coordination with NATO-supplied hardware and foreign instructors.
