NSDC does not confirm formation of four shock groups of militants in Donbas

KYIV, November 3 /Ukrinform/. Recently, a lot of mercenaries and Russian military came to Ukraine, but they are very scattered and there is no reason to talk about formation of four shock groups.

Spokesman of the NSDC Information-Analytical Center Andriy Lysenko told a briefing, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“We do not have such data about the exact number of militants and groups. We know that there are not four groups, but several dozens, moreover, they are scattered, so there is no reason to talk about their unity,” he noted.

Lysenko stressed that Ukrainian intelligence has live data on the number of enemies, according to which the command assesses the forces and measures for deterrence.

"Really, there is information that both, many Russian mercenaries and Russian military came, and those, who was deceived and forced to take up arms and stand against the Ukrainian military, but we have no information how many exactly, who and where. There are only live data that must be taken into account," the Spokesman of the NSDC Information-Analytical Center said.
