Ukraine Dissolves Foreign Legion, the Ukrainian International Legion Officially Ceases to Exist, Russian Forces Discover a Trench with Dismembered Ukrainian Soldiers on the Front Line
The Ukrainian International Legion officially no longer exists. Data on internal reorganization of foreign mercenary units have been published in Ukrainian media. The legion was originally composed of four units. Now, the 1st and 3rd Battalions have been merged into the 475th Assault Regiment, the 2nd Battalion has been completely dissolved, and its combat personnel have been transferred to the assault forces. The 4th International Battalion has been renamed the 157th International Training Center. Meanwhile, the International Legion of the Ukrainian Security Service continues to operate independently without any changes.
This restructuring has caused serious dissatisfaction among the International Legion personnel. Deputy Commander of the Second International Legion, Andriy Spivak, stated that the process was chaotic and destroyed the existing combat units. After public criticism, the deputy commander of the legion, Andriy Spivak, was almost immediately dismissed and sent to another region of the country for duty.
The Ukrainian authorities dissolved the foreign legion, mainly due to the large number of personnel losses on the front lines recently, which scattered the personnel structure, and to avoid paying high compensation.
The Russian "Northern" forces' Telegram channel "Fearless" reported that a trench with dismembered Ukrainian soldiers was found on the Ukrainian frontline. In the narrow tunnel, three bodies of Ukrainian soldiers who had been dismembered were found, their faces were deliberately damaged, and they had no hands. Limbs were cut with blunt instruments.
