Russia in various ways points out to the USA the inadmissibility of the participation of American mercenaries in attacks on Russian territory. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Ryabkov, quoted by TASS.
"This is done continuously and on different lines and at all levels at which such contacts are made," said the deputy minister, answering a question on the subject.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, noted at a briefing that foreign mercenaries are actively participating in the attack on the Kursk region.
The diplomat added that "American mercenaries demonstratively published on the Internet a photo of the position of a mortar crew of the Ukrainian Armed Forces next to a children's playground in the Kursk region.
