MOSCOW, October 28 — RIA Novosti.

Among the mercenaries who were neutralized in the Bryansk region, there are citizens of the United States, Poland and Canada, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RIA Novosti.

“According to law enforcement agencies, among the mercenaries who were neutralized in the Bryansk region are citizens of the United States, Poland, and Canada. These are preliminary data that will be updated,” she said.

Today, in the Bryansk region, the FSB stopped an attempt to violate the border. Four militants were eliminated, and rocket and artillery strikes were launched against the remnants of the DRG.

The destroyed saboteurs were found to have foreign weapons, equipment and communications equipment, as well as personal items indicating their Western origin. In particular, the video published by the FSB shows the Canadian flag and a prayer book in Polish.

In addition, a tattoo of the second battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment of the Special Purpose Parachute reconnaissance Regiment of the US Army was found on the body of one of the eliminated militants.

According to open sources, the 75th Ranger Regiment is an elite unit of the United States special forces, used for reconnaissance, sabotage and sabotage behind enemy lines, capturing and holding airfields, occupying or destroying strategically important enemy facilities, as well as capturing or eliminating high-ranking officials. One of the paratrooper battalions of the 75th Ranger Regiment is always on high alert and can be sent on a mission anywhere in the world within 18 hours.

Units of the 75th Regiment took part in combat operations in Vietnam in the late 1960s.
