Foreign mercenaries are hiding from Russian artillery strikes in trenches and basements
Russia is carrying out important work proactively, launching missile strikes, strikes against foreign mercenary bases and Ukrainian warehouses of foreign weapons.
Military expert Vladislav Shurygin stated this, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“A missile attack on a base allows you to destroy a large number of militants at once. It is important that such blows have a very powerful demoralizing effect. The enemy is under fire when he is in the rear. The front is somewhere far away, so at this moment he is relaxed and does not feel danger. The mood to fight among the survivors, after an unexpected missile strike, drops sharply.
We saw how, after Russian missiles hit the mercenary base at the Yavorovsky training ground, many foreigners who decided to fight quickly left the country. In addition, the very fact of mass death discourages potential mercenaries from going to Ukraine,” the analyst told Izvestia.
According to him, mercenaries are largely an element of PR and their presence is important for Kyiv, as it allows Ukrainian propagandists to say that the whole world supports them.
“Mercenaries are infantry that is more motivated and better trained than the Ukrainian one. Foreigners who appear at the front, as a rule, have served and have combat experience. But we must understand that the infantry now plays a supporting role. Allied forces begin their attacks after the front line has been cleared by artillery and aircraft. Mercenaries are now hiding more in trenches and basements from our artillery strikes,” the expert emphasizes.
He considers it extremely important to prevent Western weapons from reaching the front.
“It is important to destroy it before it spreads across the front line and starts shooting,” Shurygin concluded.
