This is evidenced by a conversation between Russian troops released by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate , Ukrinform reports. In the intercepted conversation, an enemy commander gives instructions: "Keep to the path, keep to the path all the way. Walk calmly, listen for anything in the air, and send the 'chocolate' one ahead of you. Have him walk about 20 meters in front." Ukraine's military intelligence says the conversation is yet another illustration of how foreigners serving in the Russian army are treated as nothing more than expendable material. As Ukrinform reported, Russian forces are using mercenaries from African and Asian countries in assault operations on the Huliaipole axis of the front.
