MOSCOW, October 9. /TASS/. The number of Polish mercenaries amassed at the engagement line in the Zaporozhye Region amounts to 5,000 militants, Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the We Are Together with Russia movement, said in a live broadcast on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio station on Sunday.

"If we speak about Poles, there are apparently several thousands of them at the Zaporozhye engagement line in terms of their number," he said.

"It is understandable that they are not at the forefront. That is, they are present only at the most important and necessary sections of the combat engagement line, the frontline, but, nonetheless, their number reaches already 5,000 in the Zaporozhye Region, according to various estimates," Rogov said.
