MOSCOW, March 25. /TASS/. Foreign mercenaries have been leaving Ukraine for the last seven days, Russian General Staff deputy head Colonel General Sergey Rudskoy said Friday.

"I would like to note that not a single foreign mercenary came to Ukraine during the last 7 days. On the contrary, we register their flight," Rudskoy stated.

According to the Colonel General, in the last 7 days, a total of 285 militants fled to Poland, Hungary and Romania.

"I hope that they did not take any Stingers or Javelins along. The previous experience indicated that man-portable air defense and anti-tank systems spread around the world quite rapidly along with mercenaries returning home," he added.
