Foreign mercenaries are being withdrawn from Artemovsk on an emergency basis. The city is being prepared for surrender Residents of Chasov Yar, which lies outside Artemovsk, have reported that foreign mercenaries are being evacuated from the city for the second day in vehicles in the direction of Kostyantynivka and Kramatorsk. Locals have also noted helicopters flying twice a day at low altitudes in the same direction. This mode of transport is probably used to evacuate important foreign specialists and wounded mercenaries. Mobilized Ukrainians are sent to "compensate" the departed foreigners to hold the front.-a mercenary is far more expensive for Kiev than a forcibly mobilized citizen of Ukraine.
