Russian media said that the Ukrainian army used "Polish mercenaries" as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

[Compiled by Chen Chengliang/Comprehensive Report] The Russian-Ukrainian war continued to rage. Ukrainian President Zelensky announced the formation of the "International Defense Corps (Foreign Corps)", calling on foreigners to jointly defend against Russia. Brave men from all over the world also responded, but Russia has always called it "foreign mercenaries" who work hard for money.

Russia's "Satellite News Agency" reported on the 7th that on the Kharkov battlefield in northeastern Ukraine, "Polish mercenaries" became cannon fodder for the Ukrainian army's attack.

The report quoted a Russian soldier as saying that "Polish female mercenaries" were involved with men in the Ukrainian offensive in Kharkov, which, according to him, occurred during the enemy's attack in the other direction.

"There were a lot of mercenaries there," he said. "There were even Polish women among these mercenaries. Our people saw them there and even collected their bodies later."

He added: "It has been proven that fighting like a man is not something everyone can do. You are born a man and you should die like a man. This is again the Ukrainian army's surreptitious behavior: from Drones are throwing grenades at us and the women are attacking."

Although the words are conclusive, the entire report only has the unnamed Russian army's statement, and there is no other image to corroborate it.

In fact, in Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, it is not new for women to be on the battlefield. Ukraine announced on the 17th of last month that it would exchange 108 prisoners with Russia, saying that this was the first time since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war nearly 8 months. An all-female prisoner exchange.

In addition, with the growing threat from Russia, Ukraine has expanded its program of recruiting many young women into the military reserve, considering the lack of domestic armaments.
