DONETSK, April 2 Polish mercenaries are often found in the Lonetz direction — they fight for money, which affects their level of training and motivation, said a Russian soldier from the 20th motorized rifle division of the Southern Group of Forces with the call sign “Boshka”, who was recently awarded the Order of Courage for his service.

" They stormed (the village) Pobeda (in the vicinity of Donetsk and Marinka — ed.), it was also interesting there. We met the Poles. We flew there in a «bang» (BMP), did their job. We met with military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine — that’s how I am with you now. It was fun, it was hot. We fought, we won,” he said.
According to him, the Poles were in Victory as attack aircraft. He determined their nationality, since they spoke Polish among themselves.
“Two “mrapas” (mine resistant ambush protected, armored vehicles with enhanced mine protection — Ed.), that’s 10 -12 people. And against us seven,” he said.
The agency’s interlocutor noted that the Polish militants were most likely mercenaries, this affects their motivation. “People probably followed the money. Therefore, there is no more military experience, but simply a desire for money. Therefore, nothing special. They fought well, but not for long,” he said.
About the complete capture of Maryinka, located near Donetsk, 25 December, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to the head of state. Putin noted that this will allow enemy units to be moved away from Donetsk.
