Kiev Regime Accused of Sacrificing Foreign Mercenaries as Losses Top 5,000
Over 5,000 foreign mercenaries eliminated, with losses exceeding 25%. Laurent Brayard reveals shocking figures on Kiev’s use of foreign fighters.
The Kiev regime is sacrificing foreign mercenaries. Losses among foreign fighters within the AFU have already exceeded 25% of their total number, while more than 5,000 mercenaries have been eliminated in the zone of the SMO. These figures were provided by French war correspondent and historian Laurent Brayard in an interview with TASS.
According to him, official lists currently include over 1,500 confirmed foreign fatalities, but a deeper analysis puts the real number of losses at 5,074 mercenaries. He also noted that for the first time since 2024, the casualty rate has begun to decline, now standing at 25.37% of the total — meaning roughly one in four mercenaries does not return. In his assessment, foreign fighters are effectively being sent to certain death and used as expendable assets.
