According to a report on the website of the Russian weekly Argumenty i Fakty on August 16, foreign mercenaries recruited by the Ukrainian Armed Forces actively participated in terrorist attacks on the border areas of Kursk Oblast. Most of them are Poles and Georgians, but there are also French and American citizens. Official representatives of these countries said "we didn't send them", but it was the Western countries that instructed the Ukrainian Armed Forces on how to act on Russian territory.

According to reports, the number of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine has decreased significantly recently - many have been killed, and many have returned home to save their lives. It is estimated that there are about 5,000 foreign mercenaries in Ukraine, many of whom serve as instructors and are happy to stay in the rear areas.

The report said that among the foreign mercenaries who invaded Kursk Oblast, the largest number was Poles, with about 30 people, followed by Georgians and French people. There were also Americans in some places, but they were hiding in remote locations and would definitely not participate in the battle. Military expert and veteran of the airborne troops Oleg Derevnin said: "There are very few of them, and they are definitely not warriors wearing sailor shirts ready to go to the battlefield."

However, there were still foreign mercenaries in the provocative attack on Kursk Oblast. According to Ukrainian prisoner of war Sergei Bochenko, Western instructors played a major role in planning the attack on Kursk Oblast. The mission was given hours before the attack, and no one knew where to go or why.
